[Rivers-list] An invitation to contribute on making rivers-listmore useful to the community

[Habib Rehnam]

Dear Prof Greco

I suggest that we make river-list a bit more active forum than it has been
so far.
I would like to see more technical contributions to the list than just
announcements etc.
Can i suggest that we pick up a topic for discussion ( ie technical
discussion) every month and encourage contributions on that. It will add to
the worth of this forum and generate further interest in the hydraulic
community.

Best wishes for your new challenge as a moderator

Regards

Habib Rehman
Senior Project Engineer
