Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the complexities of water resources management for a protected area. The author takes a comprehensive approach to describing the water resources of a designated national river and recreation area and its watershed. Historical and present-day land and water use practices are analyzed, with particular emphasis on the negative impacts of coal mining and forestry. The book examines not only the water quality itself, but also aquatic ecosystems and the management practices used to monitor and protect them. By presenting case studies and historical data, the author makes observations about the interrelationships of human activities and water quality, and the success and failures of various management techniques. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with water resources management, particularly in areas with complex and competing land use practices.
