Water plays an important part in today's environmental concerns.
Since the publication of the first edition there have been rapid
developments in the application of hydrology, geomorphology and
ecology to stream management. In particular, growth has occurred in
the areas of stream rehabilitation and the evaluation of
environmental flow needs. The concept of stream health has been
adopted as a way of assessing stream resources and setting
management goals.
"Stream Hydrology: An Introduction for Ecologists Second
Edition" documents recent research and practice in these areas.
Chapters provide information on sampling, field techniques, stream
analysis, the hydrodynamics of moving water, channel form, sediment
transport and commonly used statistical methods such as flow
duration and flood frequency analysis. Methods are presented from
engineering hydrology, fluvial geomorphology and hydraulics with
examples of their biological implications. This book demonstrates
how these fields are linked and utilised in modern, scientific
river management. "Emphasis on applications, from collecting and
analysing field measurements to using data and tools in stream
management." "Updated to include new sections on environmental
flows, rehabilitation, measuring stream health and stream
classification." "Critical reviews of the successes and failures of
implementation." "Revised and updated windows-based software." This
book is essential reading for 2nd/3rd year undergraduates and
postgraduates of hydrology, stream ecology and fisheries science in
Departments of Physical Geography, Biology, Environmental Science,
Landscape Ecology, Environmental Engineering and Limnology. It
would be valuable reading forprofessionals working in stream
ecology, fisheries science and habitat management, environmental
consultants and engineers.
