Appendix A: Information Sheet for Interviewees
You are invited to take part in a survey about water allocation processes
in the Kakanui River Catchment.
This survey is part of a study for a dissertation through the Department
of Geography at the University of Otago. This survey seeks
information on experience and attitudes towards the water allocation processes
in the Kakanui Catchment. A number of people will be asked
to discuss their ideas concerning the water resource in the Kakanui River
Catchment. There are no ‘right’, proper or preferred answers.
We hope that each participant will present his or her own opinions about
the water resource.
The interview could take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, and will
be held in your living room, office, or wherever is convenient for you.
With your permission the interviewer will take notes and if you agree -
may record the interview.
Your interview will be given a code so that you are not personally identified
at any time (unless you wish to be). The only person with access
to the codes and the participants will be the interviewer.

What will happen to the survey information?
The survey information will be used and published in an academic dissertation
as part of a Bachelor of Science with honours degree. Collected
information will be stored at the student’s home until the completion of
the study, and will then be destroyed.
The dissertation based on all the interview results will be completed by
the end of 2000, and will be available at the Department of Geography’s
library, and the University of Otago’s Central Library. It
is my intention to send a short summary of the dissertation’s main findings
to all interview participants.
