VIII Preface
Members of the editorial board of this monograph are indebted to Dipl.-Ing.
Helmut Gutmann, President of the Austrian-Technion Society, who initiated the
Symposium and managed to organize it as a successful event from the
professional and cultural viewpoints. The efforts of Ms. Judith Amtmann, who
took care of all administrative issues, are very much appreciated. The editors are
indebted to Ms. Ruth Adoni who has invested much effort in the preparation of the
camera-ready material for publication. Thanks to all who took part in the
Symposium, and special thanks are addressed to the authors, who worked hard to
provide manuscripts of high quality in a tight timetable. Last but not least, we are
very thankful to representatives of Springer-Verlag, Ms. Anette Lindqvist,
Editorial Assistant, Christiane Glier, Formerly Editorial Assistant and Ms.
Theodora Krammer, Copy Editor, for their excellent coordination and cooperation
in producing this book.
The editors hope that the messages of this monograph will be valuable to all
people who care for the quality of our water resources.
