Acknowledgements

We would also like to note the sad passing of Dr Stephen John Perrens (1944–2017), a recognised global expert in water resources and catchment management. We are most grateful to Alison Tourle for putting together an Obituary for AJWR to celebrate his life and significant contributions to the water industry. He will be greatly missed.
