Freshwater is a valuable resource for human populations, and has
many uses such as water for drinking, hydroelectric power and
recreation. This creates conflict between conservation and
exploitation. This book explores various aspects of conservation
evaluation, including the selection of important areas for
protection, responding to threats from catchment development, and
determining the restoration potential of degraded water bodies.
Aimed at academic researchers, graduate students and professionals,
chapters are written by pairs of UK and US authors, who compare
methods used for evaluating rivers and lakes for conservation in
these countries who share a long history of freshwater science, but
approach nature conservation very differently. Sweden, Australia
and South Africa are also examined, and there is a chapter on
developing countries, allowing examination of the role of social
and economic conditions in conservation ethics.
