Effects of Watershed Development and Management on Aquatic Ecosystems: Proceedings of an Engineering Foundation Conference

Contributors examine developments that simultaneously provide for drainage and flood protection, achieve criteria for ecosystem protection or restoration, and look and act like the natural environment, in papers from an August 1996 conference. They address areas such as biological assessment, geomorphology, and urban hydrology to determine the impacts that each has on the other, and discuss institutional and societal considerations in designing sustainable urban water resources.
