Sustainable Pond System Questionnaire

A group of final Year Project students (supervised by Dr Miklas Scholz) studying in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering have produced a questionnaire about sustainable (or environmentally friendly) pond systems. The aim of this study is to investigate changes in public opinion about alternative drainage systems for roof water runoff. They are looking for staff to fill in the questionnaire and therefore help them in their project. There are only 10 questions! Click here to have a look at the questionnaire (word document).

If you would be willing to take part, print off the questionnaire, fill it in and send it back to Dr Miklas Scholz, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Any queries contact M.Scholz@Bradford.ac.uk or telephone ext: 3854. Many thanks!
