there are a lot of typo and unit errors (this can be misleading to students). i got no choice , to buy this book as my text book. this book is good but not so many examples of problems to further understand it. explanation is also not well elaborated on some topics. (students need more explanation to understand). no exercise included to try. the contents are good though. This book is too expensive for a lot of errors and no examples/exercise. a moderate rating!

This book was littered with too many errors! A few errors here and there are sometimes going to happen, but this book is unacceptable for the intended audience (engineers, hydrologists, etc.)! The grammatical errors did not bother me as much as the technical errors. A number of equations were wrong, as were a bunch of the values in the example problems. It was very difficult to learn or understand the material when I had no idea where certain numbers came from. Was it a typo or was the value the correct value? With the number of errors I found, and I am not a non-point pollution expert, how do I have faith that what the rest of the author tells me is accurate?

For a profession in which accuracy is very important, this book fails and the author/editors should be embarrassed. I will not be using this as a reference.

This is a great book for dealing with Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution. It covers a fairly comprehensive list of topics, while not going into great depth on most. It gives you enough information to get a good start on just about ANY analysis related to NPS pollution and a solid beginning to expand your research from if more in-depth analysis is required. In my opinion, this is a great reference for anyone working in water quality, and a "must-have" for working with NPS.

Great product and the price was $125 cheaper than what I could have gotten it for at the university bookstore.

Thank you.
