"Ecohydrology is a multidisciplinary science that integrates disciplines such as hydrology,
ecology and mathematical modeling with the aim of generating solutions for the worldwide
water crisis. Estuaries, the intersection of freshwater and coastal ecosystems, exhibit
complex physical and biological processes which must be understood in order to sustain
and restore them when necessary." "This book, appropriate for use as a textbook and
as a reference, focuses on the principal components of an estuary, including the river,
the estuarine waters, the sediment, the nutrients, the wetlands, the estuarine food
web, and the coastal ocean. Although each chapter contains rigorous specialist knowledge,
it is presented in an accessible way that encourages collaboration between aquatic,
marine and wetland biologists, ecologists, oceanographers, geologists, geomorphologists,
chemists, and ecosystem modelers." "Estuarine Ecohydrology demonstrates how, based
on an understanding of the processes controlling estuarine ecosystem health, one can
quantify its ability to cope with human stresses. The theories, models, and real-world
solutions presented will serve as a toolkit for designing a management plan for the
ecologically sustainable development of an estuary."--Jacket
