<International Source Book On Environmentally Sound Technologies
for Wastewater and Stormwater Management>


Acknowledgments

The preparation of this Source Book was the result of collaborative effort by many experts and institutions. The project was launched with an 'International Experts Meeting on Sustainable Management of Wastewater and Stormwater' in Osaka, Japan on 6 - 8 May 1998. The proposal coming from the meeting was refined by UNEP IETC and METC (Murdoch University Environmental Technology Centre), and the administrative aspects of the project were managed by IETC.

Overall responsibility for design, writing and editing of the book was in the hands of Managing Consultant and Editor Dr. Goen Ho of Murdoch University Environmental Technology Centre (METC). Training materials based on the book were prepared by Professor Cedo Maksimovic of the Environmental and Water Resources Group, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London, and will be published separately. Figures prepared for the training materials are used in the Source Book. Professor Maksimovic also contributed materials on stormwater management. Dr. Peter Edwards, Asia Institute of Technology, Thailand, prepared the Source Book section on Aquaculture.

Several consultants prepared the regional overviews and compiled the lists of information sources. They are:

Dr. Bernd H. Dieterich, Environmental Consultant, France (West Europe)
Dr. Ute Enderlein, Consultant to WHO, Geneva (East Europe)
Professor Lekan Oyebande, University of Lagos, Nigeria (Africa)

Mr. Ed Burke, SOPAC, Fiji (SIDS - Pacific)
