WELCOME TO NRWS, THE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO SELECT FEASIBLE RURAL WATER SUPPLY SOURCES FOR THE 
NILGIRIS DISTRICT OF SOUTH INDIA

Hardware Requirements
NRWS has been developed to run without the use of complex hardware and software, 
but must meet the following requirements.

	Operating System:	Windows 98 or higher
	Processor: 	        Pentium P100 or greater
	Memory: 	        32 Megabytes or greater (less memory is possible, but will slow down the rate at which those components that involve 			large data inputs will be displayed on the screen). 
	Hard Drive:	        Minimum of 5 Megabytes of free space
	Monitor:	        SCGA colour monitor (while usable on monochrome monitors, certain features will be hard to see unless colour is available).
	Screen Mode:	        800x600 pixels, with 256 colours as a minimum.  16 bit (65,000 colours) or greater is recommended.
	CD ROM:	                Standard EIDE CD-ROM Drive
	Software:	        Microsoft Excel and Word Version 2000 or higher

Installation of the software is carried out by copying the entire contents of this zip file 
into a new folder titled "NRWS" in the Program Files section of the hard drive.

To begin applying NRWS to a village application, open the Microsoft Excel File titled 'NRWS' 
and save the application village in a familar location for easy accessibility.
