Streams around the world flow toward the sea in floodplains. All along this transit, there is exchange of water between the stream itself and the surrounding sediments which form the floodplain. Many chemical, biological, and geological processes occur when water moves back and forth between streams and these flood plain sediments. Streams and Groundwaters focuses on the consequences of water flow between streams, their underlying sediments, and surrounding landscapes. Certain to appeal to anyone interested in stream ecology, the management of stream ecosystems, or landscape ecology, this volume should become a oft-opened reference.

Review
"...an excellent and timely synthesis of a hot topic. ...a book that everyone studying streams will want to read..." -- Jackson R. Webster, Virginia Tech, in Journal of the North American Benthological Society, December 2000
From the Back Cover
Groundwater environments are an integral component of streams, being important habitats for organisms and critical for mineral and nutrient cycling. This comprehensive and authoritative text has been prepared by leading authorities in the field and includes detailed treatments of the interaction between the stream drainage basins and their underlying sediments, including the discharge of water from adjacent soil and bedrock environments. As a part of the Aquatic Ecology Series, this book represents an important compilation of the latest research regarding the crucial interactions between streams and the associated groundwaters.
Streams and Ground Waters is an essential reference for anyone interested in understanding and managing freshwater ecosystems.
