EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
DBARD for
Paradox has been developed as a repository for acid rock drainage
prediction test data. The purpose of DBARD is to aid researchers,
industry and regulators in assessing the prediction data obtained
as part of evaluations required for waste management planning and
permitting. The previous phase in the development of DBARD entailed
the conversion of DBARD Version 2.0 from a dBASE III Plus platform
to a Windows-based environment as well as updating and expanding
the range of data entered. This report and user guide describes
the design, organization and use of the latest version of DBARD
which was designed to run within Paradox Version 5.0. DBARD for
Paradox was designed to allow easier data viewing, entry and
editing. New fields were added to the database to improve the extent
of data, their quality and cross referencing. In addition, reporting
capabilities were enhanced to allow a large number of report formats
with many data combinations to be generated. Example reports are
provided.
