 Proudly sponsored by Thiess and managed by the International WaterCentre Alumni Network (IWCAN), this important initiative identifies and rewards individuals under 35 who have demonstrated innovation and excellence in river and waterways management.

To recognise the importance of this award, the winner receives AU$3,000 with each of the runners up receiving AU$250. Each of the finalists have the opportunity to present their work at the International Riversymposium each year.

If you are 35 or under and have demonstrated leadership, innovation and excellence in river and waterways management we encourage you to apply for the 2013 River Management Young Achievers Award which will be awarded at the Riverprize gala dinner – part of the 16th International Riversymposium, 23-26 September 2013.

Often, achievement is done by those who are working either individually or as a team. We encourage candidates to apply if they have accomplished river management goals in a team or group project. Be sure to articulate what role you played as a member of the team and how you demonstrated leadership or achievement.

This year the award will be dedicated to Dr Peter Oliver. Teacher, social scientist, scholar, researcher, activist, pioneer, visionary, mentor, friend . He was a man who walked, talked and breathed his vision of true integrated water management. Find out more about the inspiring life and work of Dr Peter Oliver.

Applications for the 2013 River Management Young Achievers Award are now open. To find out more, or to register your interest, please email rmyaa@watercentre.org.
