Going beyond the traditional engineering aspects of dam and canal construction, this book adds a previously neglected focus on populations of people, other animals, and vegetation dependent upon the water resources. The text connects aspects of history, geography, biology, sociology, economics, and politics in planning for the management of water resources. With its broad scope, this is a perfect textbook for courses on planning dam and water projects, aquatic ecology, and water resource planning.Contact Editor: J.K. > CategoryEcologySubcategoriesCivil Engineering/Water Pollution/Public Health > Acknowledgments, SECTION I: Sustainable Use of Water Resources in the Americas, SECTION II: Dams, Canals, and River Basins, SECTION III: Our Hope for the Future, Epilogue, List of Figures, List of Tables, Sources, Index
