a link to a Report on Air Quality and Meteorology Network in the Dominican Republic

from the Report

As part of a new Air Quality and Meteorology Network in the Dominican Republic, Pueblo Viejo Dominicana Corporation (PVDC) have committed to implementing four automated air quality data monitoring systems. Three stations are already in place, with a fourth to be added pending site location approval. The stations are installed and maintained by Golder Solutions, the successful vendor following a recent RFP process.

This information would probably be gathered from the Land and surveys department. The information is not publicly available as in on the website for download or utilize, however, it can be requested from the department.

The department can be contacted at:

http://housing.gov.dm/index.php/divisions/lands-and-surveys-division

Lands and Surveys Division Top Floor, Vanoulst House Tel: (767) 266 3431 Fax: (767) 449 9869 E-mail: landsandsurveys@dominica.gov.dm

The office allows a name search of the companies, but we could not find the full dataset in bulk without a search term.

Land data is not in digital format, instead it is paper format. The data collected is fairly up to date. No known websites we could visit to gather this information.

Unsure if data exists, but there is no information online as to the quality of the water. The authority that directly responsible for water and its quality is DOWASCO (Dominica Water and Sewerage company). The website is http://www.dowasco.dm/.

The only information about water quality can be found at the link: http://www.dowasco.dm/index.php/water-quality. Again not in the format that this survey requires.

The Dominica government expenditure used to be collected and published in aggregated form via the auditor's report for each financial year.

However that data has not been updated since 2010 (see Audit of the Public Accounts on the government website) and it therefore cannot be confirmed if the data exists or not. Therefore this will get marked as non-existing.

This information is not available at any of the government based websites. It is unclear as to which department that deals with procurement, currently each government department is in charge of its own purchasing.
