Dear Prof. Ricardo MP Coelho,
thank you very much for the invitation to the workshop about the
environmental impacts of dams - it is an honor, and it is of great
interest, because we (some University in Germany and the University
Federal de Pernambuco) are preparing a great research project about the
Itaparica Reservoir. So I would like to participate to the workshop and
I will take the change to participate to to the Limnology congress too.
An oral presentation is no problem, too the preparation of a book
contribution.
Sincerely
Guenter Gunkel
