Objectives and Scope 
      The long term objective of the study is to ensure that only those dam
projects that are
      agreed to be the "best" method of providing certain benefits,
following a comprehensive
      assessment of alternatives will be constructed. These projects should
include mitigation of
      adverse impacts to an acceptable level and to the satisfaction of the
stakeholders. To meet
      this objective, the short-term purpose of the study is to prepare
recommendations on best
      practice projects in Asia. The RETA will investigate four or five
river basins that have at least
      one project consisting of a large dam or significant regulation works. 

 Procurement 
      Individual consultants will be appointed to form an advisory panel in
the disciplines of water
      resources engineering, economics, ecology and sociology. The RETA
will require the
      services of international consultants for a total of eleven person
months.
