Review:
'The book is written in non-technical language and integrates several disciplines. It is a useful guide to students and professionals in environmental science and hydrology and those interested in the conservation of river catchments.' - Environmental Education and Information Journal, Vol 17, No.1, Jan 98
The strength of this book is its comprehensiveness and its enjoyable written style in which the author's long experience of the issue is reflected. Furthermore, the book urges for an up-to-date ecosystem approach in an integrative manner to cope with the technical and non-technical aspects of modern river basin management Hydrological Studies No43/3 1998
