Miscellaneous hydrological publication no. 10 (1972) INTRODUCTION
This catalogue, the fhird in this series, has been prepared because of an original request by lhe Coordinating Councîl for the lnternational Hydrological Decade, UNESCO, Paris to report annually on hydrological research in progress on a prescribed form.
The New Zealand National Committee for the IHD subsequently requested the Ministry of Works to publish an annual catalogue in terms of the Coordînating Counci I fs request adding local information concernÎng:
(i) The name and address of the leader or correspondent for each p roject.
(i i ) Any other New Zealand agencies, as wel I as those abroad, col I ab-rati ng i n the Projecl. ln selecting the principles to be included, the following guidelines were adopled:
(¡) A research project is any projecl that may be considered as an individual work or study, whelher large or smal l. (¡i) Projecls must be in progress and have a reasonable chance of continuity, or have been carried out and completed since the starl of the lnlernational Hydrological Decade on 1 January 1965. (¡ i i) The work must be of an acceptable standard. The annual reports are prepared by lhe Hydrological Survey of the Water and Soi I Division under lhe direction of Mr C. Toebes, Chief Scienlif ic Hydr-ologist and lhe projects have been classif ied under headings in line with the scientific aroupings of the Hydrological Survey viz.: Processes and Methods Environmental Studies Water Resources Water Qua I ily.
One hundred and twenty-one of the projects listed in the 1970 catalogue have been continued and forty-nine projects have been added for 1911.
