What is Land use effects on streamflow and water quality in the northeastern United States,Avril L de la Cretaz ; Paul Kevin Barten about?

<p>Filling a long-standing need for a desk reference that synthesizes current research, <b>Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality in the Northeastern United States</b> reviews and discusses the impact of forest management, agriculture, and urbanization. The book provides a gateway to the diverse scientific literature that is urgently needed to understand and solve ubiquitous watershed management problems. The authors use an in-depth approach that focuses on the science behind sound management principles and practices.</p> <p>The book begins with a summary of the scientific principles and processes that define and govern the interactions between activities on land and conditions in streams, lakes, and estuaries. Building on these principles, later chapters progress from basic science to small-scale, controlled field experiments to landscape-scale studies and their watershed management implications. This nested format parallels the development of watershed management projects and solutions. The deliberate integration of land use history, ecology, hydrology, chemistry, and resource management avoids the artificial separation of inter-related watershed characteristics and tra
