Rivers have been vitally important to human populations worldwide
for millennia as “highways” for inland travel, and as sources
of water for drinking, cooking, cleaning, manufacturing,
irrigation, and power generation, as well as repositories for
human, animal, and industrial wastes. This accessible textbook
takes a broad approach to river ecology, covering the basics but
going beyond by including topics that are often overlooked such as
blackwater streams and rivers, tidal creek ecosystems, and
reservoir limnology. Since most running water (lotic) systems have
been altered or impacted by human activities, there is significant
emphasis on anthropogenic impacts, including sedimentation,
nutrient pollution and related eutrophication issues as well as the
effects of dams and river fragmentation, power plant operations,
chemical contamination, wastewater treatment discharges, industrial
scale livestock production, invasive species, and rural and urban
storm water runoff on river ecosystems. Advances in stream and
river restoration are also discussed.
