The findings of this program showed that most of the areas surveyed contained 

 large reserves of sand- size sediment having size characteristics that were

 experience in the planning and conduct of borrow source exploration studies 

 and the interpretation of field data. 



Scope 



10. Borrow source exploration programs are usually divided into seven 

 phases, listed below in normal sequential order: 



a. Preliminary study. 



b. Program design. 



c. General field survey. 



d. Preliminary data analysis. 



e. Specific site surveys. 



f. Final data analysis and interpretation. 



g. Report of findings and recommendations.
