A resource for advocates and stakeholders, this book provides understanding of economic valuation in project prioritization and other decision-making aspects of stream or watershed restoration. It supplies basic background on the types of ecological goods and services that are often valued and details the types of questions that must be asked in watershed project analysis. It allows those who are not economists to be comfortable discussing things like contingent valuation, marginal costs, nonmarket goods, and other terms needed to satisfy the economic analysis requirements often needed to secure funding for projects.
Hydrometry 3rd Edition A Comprehensive Introduction to the Measurement of Flow in Open Channels Wubbo Boiten Wageningen University, The Netherlands and UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands
Hydrometry presents a thorough introduction to the science of hydrometry: the measurement of flow in open channels. Dealing with both traditional techniques and innovative new methods and instruments, in line with the latest ISO standards, this book deals with the main themes of hydrometry: the measurement of water levels and bed levels, of discharge and of sediment transport, and it considers the use of flow measurement structures, hydrological networks, and the organization of river surveys.

Wadi Hydrology Zekai Şen Istanbul Technical University, Turkey
Arguably the first book devoted entirely to examining this important resource, Wadi Hydrology presents up-to-date methodologies required for sustainable management of wadis and their water resources. Through unique physical approaches, field cases, sample interpretations, and various applications to different models, this book provides an in-depth understanding of these systems that illustrates the efficiency of harnessing water from wadis. The author compiles the most up-to-date information on arid region hydrology, including specific techniques for hydrological calculations and desertification assessments, and includes examples and solved problems in each chapter. Catalog no. 61542, 2008, 368 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4200-6154-3, $135.95 / £86.00
Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality in the Northeastern United States Avril L. de la Cretaz and Paul K. Barten University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA
Providing a comprehensive literature review, Land Use Effects on Streamflow and Water Quality in the Northeastern United States presents the principles that define and govern interactions between land activities and conditions in streams, lakes, and estuaries, offering an overview of hydrologic processes and key watershed characteristics. Focusing on the importance of the physical environment as a source of variation in stream response, the text emphasizes how general principles operate within the context of local conditions. It also examines streamflow and water quality effects of specific land uses, including forest management, agriculture, urban development, and cumulative effects. Catalog no. 9187, 2007, 344 pp. ISBN: 978-0-8493-9187-3, $152.95 / £97.00
