摘要：

The Social Water Assessment Protocol (SWAP) is a tool consisting of a series of questions on 14 themes designed to capture the social context of water around a mine site. A pilot study of the SWAP, conducted in Prestea-Huni Valley, Ghana, showed that some communities were concerned about whether the groundwater was potable. The mining company's concern was that there was a cycle of dependency amongst communities that received treated water from the mining company. The pilot identified potential data sources and stakeholder groups for each theme, and gaps in themes, and suggested refinements to questions to improve the SWAP.
