50 new IWC scholarships on offer for 2012 (Australia)
In the context of current economic downturn, the International WaterCentre (IWC) is seeking new ways to support the world's future water leaders.
IWC is now offering partial-tuition scholarships to the first 50 students who enrol in an Integrated Water Management program (Masters, Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate) for 2012.
The scholarship is available to Australian and international students who do not receive any external full-tuition scholarship or full-tuition funding from other sources.
Each partial scholarship is valued at AU$5,000 for the whole Masters program, payable per semester towards tuition fees (directly to The University of Queensland). Flexibility in program delivery is provided through students being able to study full-time or part-time/distance. Three new specialisation streams will be offered in 2012 including International development; Water, land and people; and Urban water.
To benefit from this partial scholarship, you need to: 1. apply for the program 2. receive an unconditional offer from The University of Queensland (and accept it) 3. be one of the first 50 students to enrol in the program (enrolments open in Dec 2011/Jan 2012)

We are very pleased to welcome Q-Drum to the I Need Fresh Water websites. Q-Drum has found a way to reduce the time and energy required to gather water. Their elegantly simple solution caught our attention and we hope it will capture yours as well. We look forward to learning much more about how Q-Drum and solutions like it may gain traction in the global marketplace.
From Q-Drum - "In rural areas around the world particularly in Africa, millions of people live miles away from their nearest reliable water source. The burden of fetching water is usually a cumbersome and time-consuming one which often affects young children or women, resulting in debilitating neck injuries from carrying heavy loads on their heads. The Q Drum was designed to ease the burden of conveying potable water in these areas. It is a durable device which when full holds 50 litres. The uniqueness of the Q Drum lies in the idea and design of the longitudinal shaft or donut hole, through which a rope can be tied to roll or drag the drum along all terrain types. Easy to stack and therefore effectively stored, this simple and effective design is poised to improve the lives of millions of people across the globe."
