Abstract
Monitoring deals with the collection, analysis and use of information to support informed decision-making (EC 2004). Monitoring is usually an internal management responsibility and as a rule ongoing. It is carried out to check progress, take remedial action and to update plans. In the following, monitoring is applied to the implementation of measures to mitigate negative environmental impacts of a project. A project is understood as a series of activities aimed at bringing about a specified objective within a defined time-period and budget (EC 2004). Infrastructure projects are such to improve transportation, energy and water supply (house-hold, irrigation), as e.g. roads bridges, dams, canals etc.
