Dear colleagues,

Please spare a moment to read the announcement below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----


The National Committee for IHP Malaysia had prepared a list of national
research activities in support for the forthcoming phase VI (2002-2007) of
IHP UNESCO.
In the process we had followed closely the themes of IHP VI which seem
relevant to Malaysia but mainly focused on a collaborative approach
involving more that one organizations/institutions. We have through our
experience gained a considerable advantage by having a multidisciplinary
team in the research activity hence will continue to do as such.

In that regards, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the various
proposed activities which may suit your interest. The research topics can be
seen at
http://htc.moa.my/htc/research/rendir.html

The research can also be arranged to lead to a higher degree award but
funding is a key issue to be addressed first.

Those interested with resource available are cordially invited to jointly
undertake this research activity.
I am happy to answer any inquiry should there be any.

Best regards,

Dr. Mohd Nor b. Mohd Desa

Director
The Regional Humid Tropics Hydrology and Water Resources Center
for Southeast Asia and the Pacific (HTC Kuala Lumpur)
Department of Irrigation and Drainage Malaysia
Km 7, Jalan Ampang
68000 Ampang
