Name of tool
A feasibility study

Opinion of tool - argumentation for choosing the tool
The <em>feasibility study </em>and <em>WWTW Site Selection matrix </em>have been developed over a number of years from experience working with DCWW. The assessment procedures used on this study are the same as those used on other GallifordTry (Welsh Water Capital Alliance) projects. </p>

Opinion of tool - barriers for the tool implementation
Some lack of information on expected discharge quality expected by the Environment Agency. </p> <p>Landowners were not consistent on whether they would be willing to sell.</p>

Opinion of tool - assessment by tool users
Without a tool like this it is not possible to collate all the necessary information in order to make a qualified decision. Without the tool the decision would have been subjective, probably political and without any technical substantiation. This could have led to the wrong decision which would have been impossible to implement.

The spin off is that it allows the scheme to progress on programme through the following stages to completion.

Whilst we have been using this type if tool for many years there is always room for improvement and introduction of new approaches. Secondly, it is only as good as the amount of effort put in and the amount of time allowed.

This tool will always be used for this type of work. It can also be used for similar industries such as gas, oil, electricity, perhaps more recently the positioning of telephone communication masts.

The actors would recommend the use of the tool for similar work in the water industry since it has been tried and tested.

Opinion of tool - reviewer\'s assessment
The WWTW Site Selection Tool is a very basic checklist that is open to subjective assessment. However, even though it is a very basic it is a good starting point to initiate the consideration of factors that may otherwise be ignored and also provides an opportunity for the project team to sit down and make the assessment together.
