Water quality is a pivotal environmental indicator of sustainable land management and environmental 'health'. Hazards to water resource use at the farm and catchment scales have far-reaching physical, biological, environmental and socio-economic impacts. These impacts are exacerbated by on-site and off-site agricultural and non-agricultural activities. A prototype water hazard management decision support system that uses an integrated framework to identify, by origin, hazards and related best water management practices guidelines is proposed. The system recommends best management guidelines with respect to the inherent water resource use mitigations. The system has been calibrated by and applied to expert knowledge and experimental and survey data from Kiumbu Catchment in central Kenya. Suggestions are made for the inclusion of GIS capabilities for the production of water resource assessment maps and other spatial water quality indicators. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
