WET is offering two summer scholarships, in conjunction with The Waterways Centre for Freshwater
Research and the Faculty of Environment, Society and Design at Lincoln University. Thanks to ECan for supporting these projects with funding.

The projects are:
1. Describing and, where possible, quantifying the costs and benefits of riparian planting with particular reference to the drainage network of the lower Selwyn-Waihora catchment.

2. Quantifying, using agreed indicators, the recreational use of Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere, both historical and contemporary.

The first will contribute to the Sustainable Drain Management project and the second is being carried out as part of the preparations for the 2013 Living Lake and Catchment Symposium.

Applications close on October 27th and further information is on the Waterways website.
