Resources required
Funding and time constraints will determine the
level of detail to which each of the following can
be carried out, within what timescale, and by whom.
As an indication of the order of costs required
to undertake similar studies of other lagoon sites,
approximate costs for each aspect of the Fleet case
study are as follows:
|
Aspect of study
|
Approximate cost (excl. VAT)
£
|
| Review
of historical data, synthesis of modelling and
monitoring studies carried out so far, recommendations
(at commercial rates) |
7000
|
| Water
quality survey and monitoring studies (at Environment
Agency internal rates) |
10,000
|
| Nutrient
budget modelling using existing data (at commercial
rates) |
8000
|
| Estimation
and modelling of diffuse sources (at commercial
rates) |
5000
|
| Construction
of physical model for the Fleet (CASE award
studentship contribution) |
4000
|
Costs at full commercial rates for the survey and
monitoring studies, and the construction of the
physical model, will be several times higher than
the costs given.
The Fleet is reasonably accessible. It is likely
that costs for more remote sites, including many
sites in Scotland, would be greater for those components
of the study that involve field work.
