Purpose

ETESP

Kabupaten Precipitation

OCTOBER 2005

Compilation of "best possible" estimate of precipitation in Aceh provinces based on available limited data
   

ETESP

ECe from EM38 data

OCTOBER 2005

 

Calculate soil salinity (ECe) values from raw data collected by EM38 salinity device when no calibration information provided

ETESP

etesp ECe_EM38Dataset

OCTOBER 2005

The above spreadsheet with the manipulated dataset compiled in November 2005

ETESP

Leaching Water Requirements

NOVEMBER 2005

 

 

Calculate the depths and volumes of water that have to be applied and pass through a selected depth of soil to achieve desalinisation.  Information required includes:

·          Textural class of soil

·          Initial salinity of the soil (dS/m)

·          Target salinity wished to be achieved (dS/m)

ETESP

Irrigation Leaching Progress

NOVEMBER 2005

 

 

 

Determine how many irrigation gifts have to be applied to achieve de-salinisation of various depths of variously textured soil. Information required includes:

·          Soil textural group, or

·          AWHC (Available Water Holding Capacity)

·          Estimate of water application efficiency, or use default values

·          Size of irrigation gift as mm of water

 

ETESP

Survey Density

DECEMBER 2005

 

1.       Correlate the scale at which to map surveys of various types from reconnaissance to very detailed level

2.       Determine observation density (Sites / hectare)

3.       Calculate the total number of sites for surveys at various reliability levels

 

Requirements:

·          Survey area extent in hectares (ha)

 

Also presents various map and mapping information

 

ETESP

Labdata summary.

FEBRUARY 2006

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enter standard laboratory data and obtain ratings as to the level of all the various nutrients and chemical properties.

 

Also calculate weighted mean vales for topsoil and subsoil plus obtain automatic simple summary of:

 

·          Inherent fertility

·          Fertility potential

·          Possible nutrient deficiencies

·          Salinity status, and

·          Reaction

 

Also experimental estimate of possible perceived risks

 

ETESP

Site Monitoring tool

MARCH 2006

Enter field data for specific sites or villages making note of :

 

1.       Locational information

·          Kabupaten

·          Kecamatan

·          Desa

·          Farmer or Land-owner, and

·          Geographic coordinates

 

2.    Soil, land and crop  features

 

·          surface soil textural group

·          soil salinity

·          soil acidity

·          irrigation water quality (salinity)

·          status of drains, plus

·          estimate (%) of the actual pre-tsunami crop yield

 

to monitor land reclamation progress and get information on further interventions possibly required

 

ETESP

Soil Conditions Database

MARCH 2006

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enter field collected on the site form, or data collated and analysed from the data on the site form into a format that will be the first stages of a dbms / GIS compilation:

 

·          surface soil textural group

·          soil salinity

·          soil acidity

·          irrigation water quality (salinity)

·          status of drains, plus

·          estimate (%) of the actual pre-tsunami crop yield

 

The data are stored against the official Dinas selected villages that qualify for ETESP inputs. This collation will allow monitoring land reclamation progress within kecamatan and kabupaten and get information on further interventions possibly required

 

ETESP

Auger Description Form

MARCH 2006

 

Simple pro-forma for recording data collected during soil investigations to establish depths and distribution of sandy sediments

 

ETESP

Survey Database

MARCH 2006

 

 

Draft database design in MS Excel for recording data collected during any soil survey inspections or observations.  Data being collected using the”Auger Description Form”.

If use was to be made of this database it could / should be recompiled in MS Access as this offers a more secure data storage medium.

Land & Soil Problem

MAY 2006

A spreadsheet designed as a DECISION TREE to allow the identification and categorisation of various soil and land problems associated with the tsunami.  Remedial actions are then suggested as well as the appropriate tools to further check the situation and devise recovery routines.
