in beginning Phase 1 of the project. We thank the Ministry of Defence for permitting research 
teams to access areas around the firing ranges. Colleagues from the Public Utilities Board 
have been very helpful and cooperative in providing essential hydrological data required for 
the numerical eco-hydrological model, as well as practical information on water management. 
Our gratitude goes to the Ministry of Finance and the National Parks Board for funding, 
without which it would have been impossible to carry through this project.
