Pulling together such a broad-based book as this has drawn on the considerable talents and efforts of many individuals and institutions. The editors would particularly like to thank those present at the November 2002 Hyderabad workshop (including a number of the contributing authors) for enriching and enlivening the debate around wastewater irrigation that was the genesis of this book. The fine quality of the 16 chapters would not have been possible without the excellent comments and inputs of the external reviewers. Additionally, we are indebted to the editorial, graphics and typesetting team – Sue Hainsworth, TNG Sharma, Deanna Hash and Shiraz Mehta – for their very substantial efforts that made this possible. Last but by no means least, the difficult logistical challenges of handling manuscript submissions, external reviews, rejections and approvals, author revisions, resubmissions and final turnover of the chapters to the editorial team was handled by Roja Rani with her usual aplomb and good nature. To all these and many others, thank you.

IWMI would like to thank IDRC for the generous grant that made this book possible. Finally, IWMI and IDRC gratefully acknowledge the role that CAB International and Tim Hardwick in particular have played in agreeing to publish the book; we count on their ongoing efforts to distribute this volume as widely as possible.
