Watersheds: A Practical Handbook For Healthy Water

By: Clive Dobson & Gregor Gilpin Beck


imageWater is our most vital resource.  Yet few understand even the basics of watershed ecology.

Watersheds: A Practical Handbook for Healthy Water provides a fascinating overview of the fundamentals of ecology from the simple concept of a watershed to the biological intricacies of a wetland ecosystem and its implications on the environment.

More than 100 illustrations, especially done for this book, help explain the numerous environmental issues and the intricate web of life that connect each of us to all other life on the planet through our involvement in the watershed cycle.

Watershed includes information on:

  • water and nutrien cycles
  • bioregions and aquatic habitats
  • exotic species invasion
  • water and air pollution
  • ecological restoration
  • habitat loss

Special How Can I Help? sections throughout the book provide practical and meaningful ways in which individuals can make a difference to the health of watersheds by reducing water and air pollution, preserving native forests, and helping restore the health of streams and rivers.
