<br />3.0 RECONNAISSANCE STUDIES <br /> <br />3.1 Introduction <br /> <br />A reconnaissance study is generally conducted to obtain an overview of water resource <br />opportunities or problems for a specified study area. Reconnaissance planning is defined here <br />as a preliminary, conceptual analysis which is performed in sufficient detail to: distinguish the <br />major differences between alternatives, provide a preliminary indication of feasibility for each <br />alternative, and determine if further analyses are justified. 111e reconnaissance study is often the <br />basis for decisions regarding further project planning or development activities. <br /> <br />The following are some major considerations in designing and conducting a <br />reconnaissance study. <br /> <br />3.1.1 Conceptual Planning <br /> <br />Reconnaissance planning is conceptual planning. A wide range of ideas for <br />accomplishing the study objective(s) should be considered. Both structural and <br />non-structural measures should be included in the formulation of alternatives. <br /> <br />Since subsequent studies will generally focus on a selected plan or a limited number of <br />alternatives resulting from the reconnaissance study, it is important that reconnaissance <br />planning be as comprehensive as possible. Failure to identify a viable concept or a major <br />constraint may be very costly if the oversight is not discovered until later in the project <br />development process. <br /> <br />3.1.2 Nature of the Planning Process <br /> <br />Recognizing the iterative nature of the planning process is important in the design and <br />management of the study. Certain tasks may have to be executed more than once in order <br />to identify an acceptable set of alternatives. During the course of the study, ideas are <br />developed, analyzed, screened, modified, rejected or adopted in a process which usually <br />involves both technical analysis as well as plllticipation by a study advisory group and <br />the public. <br /> <br />3.1.3 Coordination with Interested Parties <br /> <br />For reconnaissance planning, more than any other type of planning, it is important that <br />individuals and organizations with an interest in the outcome of the study be not only <br />kept fully informed but also be involved in the study process. An advisory group which <br />includes a representative of each of the major interest groups in the study area should be <br />utilized to advise on the content and management of the study. This group might be a <br /> <br />l5 <br />
