Quality Management Plan for Flood Affected Areas of Punjab.

This reference documents project-specific quality assurance and quality control procedures
appropriate to the size, complexity, and nature of the project. Quality improvements are also
documented and may be included as an integral part of the Project Management Plan (PMP).
Plans are developed concurrently in the iterative Program/Project Planning Phase. In addition
to quality management objectives developed as part of PMPs for projects, the system for
Quality Management is defined in an organizational level Quality Management Plan (QMP).
Project-specific Quality Management objectives accompanying each PMP shall be consistent
with the organization QMP unless documented.

As a Project Manager I would:

Focusing on communities and working in partnership.

Coordinating across Water Framework Directive management catchments.

Considering sustainability issues.

Taking a proportional, risk-based approach.

Seeking to deliver multiple benefits.

Encouraging beneficiaries to contribute to invest in flood risk management.

Identify the damage done by the flood.

To ensure the timely delivery of Aid to the affectees.

Coordination among the various Donor and Social Firms.

Assessment of the Crops Loss and Total Deaths.

To make a way forward/Remedies to avoid future loss.

To make a better team and maintain a harmony among them.

Coordination Among the Environmental Protection Agency, National Disaster

Management Authority and Ministry of Environment.

The Previous scoping reports set out the scope of the Strategic Environmental Assessment
(Sea). They also set out what sources of flood risk will be included in the Project Report and
what consultation will be undertaken, and when.

The Environment Agency (EA) and Natural Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)
worked with Project Team to set out the scope of the Project, and to ensure the quality
management, Quality assurance in the relief activities.

Drawing conclusions from flood hazard and flood risk maps

In developing our conclusions, As PM I should consider:

all flood risk sources, and whether multiple flood sources might interact

flood risk, in terms of sources, pathways and receptors, and flow routes

flood risk, in terms of historic flooding and the probability and consequence of
flooding - for example, which properties, services or environmental resources are at risk,
and what the likely flood probability and impact severity of these might be.

Objectives for managing flood risk and Ensuring Quality

Where more specific objectives are developed for places, these should refer to:

The source of risk (including all sources of flooding and coastal erosion, if relevant)

The probability and consequences of the risk

The type of receptors affected and the scale of the effect

The nature of change, or a target to be achieved, for example through reductions or

improvements

Social objectives: risk to life, residential properties, services and infrastructure,

vulnerable communities, and any other relevant aspects

Environmental objectives: biodiversity, geology and soils, geomorphology / hydro

morphology, water quality, historic environment, and any other relevant aspects

Economic objectives: agricultural economy, commercial properties, leisure and

tourism, and any other relevant aspects.

Improve environmental quality, for example by contributing to the objectives of the

Water Framework Directive (especially, re-naturalising water bodies, reducing diffuse
pollution and eradicating invasive species)

Improve biodiversity, particularly the extent and quality of wetlands

Improve how flood and coastal erosion risk management works with natural process,
in particular through attenuation of flows (for example through tree planting) and
reducing wave energy (for example through salt marsh creation)

Support objectives from other policies, plans and programmes (the SEA will help
identify those that relate to people and the environment)

Information needed for measures for achieving objectives

The Floods Directive describes Quality management measures as:

Protection,
Preparedness,
Prevention,
Recovery and review.

Each measure must also be categorized according to the coded list in the EU Reporting
Scheme. For each river basin district this will be reported to the European Commission.
Theres more information about EC reporting measures (PDF, 158KB, 1 page) .
PM's measures should be prioritized in the context of Quality, opportunities, costs and
benefits, and any other relevant factors.
SEA and MoE should work together and with communities to provide Regional Flood and
Coastal Committees (RFCCs) with proposed measures for delivery across committee areas.
The prioritization of these measures within PM team should inform investment decisions, but
the decisions themselves are separate from PM.

Implementation phase
Measures should be categorized as one of the following:

Ongoing measures: those already being implemented

Agreed measures: those that have, or are likely to have, funding in place, or measures
that have been consulted on previously and agreed (eg as part of a local flood risk
management (FRM) strategy)

Proposed measures: new measures or changes to ongoing/agreed measures (for

example innovative solutions to recent flooding).

Information for flooding from the sea

Local authorities, the EPA, NDMA and MoE are responsible for compiling shoreline
management plans) (SMPs) for country. When drawn from these plans, policies and actions
should not be changed outside the Shoreline Management Plan Change Process. Other
sources of information include:

Measures in the Medium Term Plan

Measures progressed by third parties

Measures identified in ongoing planning work

Information on coastal erosion risk management from coastal groups

Information for flooding from reservoirs

EPA and NDMA are responsible for covering flooding from reservoirs when compiling
Project Reports.
Reservoir measures are likely to include establishing an on-site reservoir plan (the
responsibility of the reservoir operator or owner) or an off-site reservoir plan (the
responsibility of the Local Resilience Forum).

Strategic thinking
Individuals developing Quality Management Plan should think strategically about how the
processes in the catchment and coastline work and interact, how drainage systems respond to
different flooding episodes, and how natural processes operate.
This should help improve co-ordination for the various sources of flooding and understanding
of in-combination effects and broader water management issues such as river basin
management planning.
In our country, this is the Natural Resource Management approach.
Much of this strategic thinking has been shared in previous studies and reports.

Meeting wider environmental requirements

EPA/NDMA developing policies must do so in a way that is co-ordinated with river basin
management plans (RBMPs). In particular they need to:

Ensure that proposed measures do not cause deterioration in water bodies (preventing
harm)

Ensure that proposed measures do not prevent future improvement (eg restoration)

Identify

improvement

opportunities

to

meet Water

objectives and improve ecological status (taking positive action)
