Abstract
A gulf remains between the practical concerns of environmental managers and the research interests of most academic environmental scientists. There is a scarcity of published work that integrates the wider concerns of environmental managers with academic research into the hydrological and hydro-chemical functioning of catchments at different scales. This volume is devoted to attempts by those, mainly concerned with environmental management in practice at the local and regional scale, to see the headwater wetlands in their context. The main issue addressed is- if a headwater regions contains wetland, what are the implications of this fact for environmental management and how does the wetland affect the management of the basin as a whole.
