The International Network for Acid Prevention is pleased to announce that our dream of creating a 'Global Acid Rock Drainage Guide' is finally well under way.  The GARD Guide aims to be a world-wide reference for acid prevention and to identify Best Practice in the field of ARD.   Consolidating the vast global knowledge on ARD management into a single document is not going to be an easy undertaking.  In order to create a truly global guide, experts from several countries are contributing their knowledge to the development of the Guide.

Funding and sponsorship is of course also crucial to ensure successful completion of the project.  INAP is commiting a significant amount of its own funds to the project and is actively seeking other sponsors.

A tremendous 'thank you' goes out to all of those who assisted in Phase I of the project, and especially to Keith Ferguson for his willingness to take on such a daunting job.  We also look forward to continued support for current and future phases through completion of the project.

Project updates will be readily available in our newsletters and on this GARD Guide webpage of the INAP website.  If you have questions concerning the project, please contact the INAP Administrator or the INAP Technical Manager.
