    Abstract
    Although much of the literature found by this rapid review emphasises the necessity of including environmental considerations into the planning of mass displacement camps, and the role of environmental impact assessments (EIAs), there is little publically available literature on the assessments carried out, and the quality of these. The literature specifically highlights the role of previous humanitarian interventions in the overexploitation of groundwater resources, but specific EIAs related to this were limited. No information or evidence could be found by this review on the use of EIAs to influence land allocation decisions for refugees by Governments. Many of the EIAs reviewed were based on camp locations that had already been decided or allocated and were reactive rather than proactive. The review highlights a selection of publically accessible examples of the where EIAs (or other environmental assessments) have been carried out in refugee situations, focussing on mentions of WASH and water supply considerations within these.
