SYNOPSIS T he paper outlines the need for some national policy for the co‐ordination of long‐term or strategic research in the water industry, and concentrates on those apsects which are of particular relevance to river engineering. The contributions to this policy which can be made by the research councils, universities and polytechnics, water authorities, professional institutions, research establishments, consultants, and practising engineers are identified and discussed. Some consideration is also given to recent reports which address this problem, including the DOE report Water Research in the Longer Term * 1 . The particular issue of disseminating research results to other researchers and practising engineers is examined in some detail.
