Dear list members,
The publishers Wiley & Sons are preparing an "Encyclopedia of Water".
Authors for contributions to certain topics are still sought. Checknig
the list of keywords (on the website given below) I realised that our
area (urban drainage) could benefit from a bit more coverage.
Anyone who feels called to writing a contibution may wish to read the
followign article (from European Water Management News) and check
the website indicated.
Renumerations consists in a USD100-voucher for Wiley books.
Best regards
Manfred Schuetze
Co-owner "urban-drainage" list
PS: Also other topics (such as "Wastewater Irrigation for Golf Courses:
Advantages versus Disadvantages") are still requiring authors.

17. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF WATER
The compilation of the much anticipated "Encyclopedia of Water" is now
underway and many
scientists, educators, graduate students and water professionals have
already reserved over 40%
of the topics to be included in this monumental four-volume
encyclopedia.
When published in 2004, The Encyclopedia of Water will consist
of over 2,000 (500 to
2,000 word) original works, divided into 14 water related categories to
form the largest and
most comprehensive assortment of water related information ever created.
John Wiley & Sons Publishing and the editors of The Encyclopedia
of Water invite you and
your colleagues to join it in creating this ultimate resource in water
related information. As
well as being a part of this work you will be given a $100 honorarium
for books from the John
Wiley & Sons catalog for each entry that is included in the
encyclopedia. We urge you to
complete the short Contributor Application very soon as the number of
available entries is
quickly decreasing. However, if the entries that you would like to
author are already reserved
you may propose your own titles for review.
For more information or to complete the Contributor Application
please visit The
Encyclopedia of Water web site at http://www.WileyWater.com.
If you have any questions please e-mail the editors of the
