Watershed management : proceedings Part 2

Lincoln College, the College of Agriculture of the University of Canterbury, sponsors an active research and teaching programme in hydrology, soil conservation and water resources development. The purpose of these Papers is to communicate research results and new developments in these fields as rapidly as possible, and particularly to report the results of projects undertaken in conjunction by the Department of Agricultural Engineering and the New Zealand Agricultural Engineering Institute. From time to time the opportunity will be taken to publish material originating elsewhere in New Zealand with which the College is associated and which could not otherwise be made available.

Lincoln Papers in Water Resources Numbers 8 and 9 comprise papers presented at a Symposium on Watershed Management in Water Resources Development. The Symposium was sponsored by the New Zealand Association of Soil Conservators together with Lincoln College and was held at Lincoln College from 20th to 22nd August 1969.
