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.
