    Physical Assessment

     Geographic setting:
     Location – Absolute/Relative
     Area of the town (in hectare/square meter)
     Shape of the town – compact/elongated
     Drainage system of the town

    3
    Cont’d
     Micro climate characteristics: Basic climatic
    elements include:
     Temperature (oC) – minimum, maximum, mean
    values,
     Rainfall (mm) – daily, monthly, annual distribution
     Relative Humidity (%)
     Wind – speed (m/s or km/hr) and direction (wind
    rose diagram)
     Sunshine hours
     Agro-climatic / agro-ecological zone of the town
    4
    General environmental conditions
     The major environmental components to be included in
    the assessments are:
     Vegetation and forest resources – coverage, level of
    deforestation, causes and effects
     Energy resources – types and impacts on the
    environment
     Wildlife resources – dominant wildlife species,
    estimated population, existence of conservation area
    such as parks, game reserves and sanctuaries, relevance
    for tourism
     Soil – major types and their geographical distribution,
    agricultural value and extent of soil degradation
    5
    Cont’d

     Water resources potential


     Surface water systems – types, drainage types,
    depth and width of rivers, use, problems associated,
    etc
     Subsurface/ground water sources – types of
    aquifer materials, potential pollution sources,
    recharge conditions, flow systems of springs, etc

    6
    Waste management system or Sanitation
    condition assessment
     Solid waste:
     Institutional arrangement
     Generation rate (kg or m3) for the last 5 years – estimate per-capita
    generation
     Major types and sources
     Methods of in collection and transportation
     Number of SW storage facilities and spatial distribution
     Solid waste disposal or landfill site and parameters for selection
     Budget allocated, e.g. for the last 5 years
     SW recovery methods – reuse, recycling and composting (organic
    waste) practices
     Major challenges
     Opportunities
     Future plans

    7
    Cont’d

     Liquid waste
     Major types and sources

     Ways of its disposal
     Disposal site selection criteria
     Liquid waste generated by volume (m3) during the last 5
    years – residential, commercial, institutions (hospitals, schools,
    government offices, etc), municipal services, industries, etc
     Abattoir/Slaughterhouse service – evaluation of site
    selection as per the criteria;

     Mineral potential
     List of mineral resources available – metallic, non-
    metallic, energy, construction/quarry, mineral water,
    hot springs;
     Potential site/location
     Environmental impacts of mining – pollution (air,
    noise, water, soil), erosion, subsidence, etc

    11
    Cont’d

     Geological hazards assessment


     Types of hazards and factors contributing towards it:
     Mass wasting or mass movement
     Flood hazard
     Seismic hazard
     Groundwater (pollution) hazard,
     Soil erosion or sedimentation hazard
     Water logging hazard
