British Hydrological Society

The British Hydrological Society, JBA Trust and Environment Agency are delighted to announce that the MSc Studentship Award Scheme will be open for applications again in 2017.  Now in its seventh year, the award scheme supports talented students wishing to pursue development of their academic experience and qualifications in hydrology and catchment management.  Graduates of MSc courses play a vital part in the future management of the water environment. 

"Water is fundamental to our lives. Not only do we rely on water to sustain our metabolism and for sanitation, but it is essential for almost all of our food production; is a carrier for our waste; maintains a habitat for flora and fauna; supports recreation and enhances the aesthetic value of our landscape. However, to much or too little, at the wrong palace or the wrong time can cause major disruptions to society. In order to support society, water has to be managed in a way that satisfies its multiple users and uses within the constraints of politics and economics."
