Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information management plays a significant role in the Groundwater Characterization Project (GCP) because of its size and complexity. Information management shares complementary roles with research objectives and quality assurance (QA) to define how the project will be implemented. Information management serves as a backbone to the research effort by tying various project components together, from data collection through data analysis to the use of the information by researchers and program managers. The information collected and analyzed from the Groundwater Characterization Project must be available to its users in a timely, cost-effective, and accurate manner. The quality and validity of these data are important to the overall Nevada Test Site program. The activities in this plan include: field activities; sample collection; processing, and tracking; data base design and management; retrieval, analysis, and dissemination of the data; and, archiving and cataloging of the data and documentation. The implementation of information management with respect to these activities is defined in this plan as strategies supplemented by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to provide the details of each activity. The Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) seeks to assure that the information collected is of the highest possible quality permitted under current technology and science and is error-free.
