Reviews

"This is not your ordinary textbookIt is eclectic, practical, in places a handbook, a guide to fieldworkand, perhaps most engaging to me, in places the authors offer personal views as well as more strongly worded opinions. The former often relate to evaluation of alternative approaches, or formulations, of specific solutions to specific hydrologic problems...I hope any student will enjoy, not just profit from, the careful advice given to those involved in their first observations of rivers in the field" -Professor M. Gordon (Reds) Wolman, Johns Hopkins University.
