More than just idle chat...
Leon Miles, Research Engineer, posted
a message to the listserver about the perceived valuation of
the water environment on the part of urban inhabitants in the
cities of developing countries. He describes the response he
received:
"I found the response I received from the WASAR list to
be really helpful. I received something in the region of 20 responses
over the space of a week following a single request, offering
references to people, documents and other related research projects.
As a result of the responses I received, I believe the research
proposal I came up with was informed with current thinking rather
than derived from books and journals. I actually met a researcher
from South Africa following correspondance, and we are hoping
to collaborate further in the future.
In short thanks. I find GARNET invaluable for keeping me informed on issues relevant to my work".
