RiverBasinObject: Industrial installations

The primary information relates to location, extent and water demands, but also return flow and its quality (pollutant concentrations).

They are primarily described by their HEADER and the hypertext description and imagery.

Attributes are grouped into topics and shown in pop-up windows that are triggered by BUTTONS.
They include:

1. Admin owner/operators;
2. Operations describing water related technology and infrastructure such as wells, canals, local storage capacity waste management and treatment facilities;
3. Demand summary of water demand, historical records.
4. Economics cost and benefit data:
   • investment (annualized)
   • operating costs (monthly and/or per unit water used)
   • benefits per unit water demand satisfied;
   • penalties for water shortfall (unsatisfied demand, optional)
5. Links to other objects: Please note that an industrial plant should be linked to a source of water, a river reach, well, or reservoir, and may have both a treatment plant for its input (depending on process water quality requirements) as well as an treatment plant for its wastewater.
