5.0 out of 5 stars Natural Resource Management of Water and Land, August 3, 2007
By cortezhill (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
The issues concerning the United States land and water resources are varied and complex, involving everything from industrial and domestic water supplies, hydroelectric power, irrigation, and pollution control, to fish and wildlife enforcement and wildlife enhancement, recreational use, flood control, and navigation.

Natural Resource Management of Water and Land is a comprehensive guide to the effective management of natural resources in different geographical sections of the United States.

Noted authority Edward O. Gangstad discusses areas where stresses on water and land resources are likely to occur, describes the conditions in these problem areas, and makes practical suggestions that can improve management methods.

The volume offers readers a number of outstanding features:

* Detailed coverage of enviromentally sensitive regions, such as arid lands and American prairies
* Thorough evalutations of current natural resource management strategies
* Up-to-date information on the conservation of wildlife resources
* Valuable guidance on the use of remote sensing in resource management

The pros and cons of different biological and chemical technologies used to manage natural resources are clearly outlined in accounts of various control programs.

These include operations to control Alligatorweed, to check the spread of Eurasian Watermilfoil, to deal with nuisance aquatic macrophyte growth and to dissipate redidue of 2, 4-D in water, soil, and fish.

Also presented are illustrative case studies of natural resource management strategies for rectifying water and land problems.

Readers will find case studies covering a water hyacinth control plan for the St. Johns River, the Corps of Engineers' aquatic plant management program, a plan to manage lake vegetation, as well as other case studies dealing with "giant" blue-green alga and aquatic weeds and public health.


Natural Resource Management of Water and Land is an authoritative technical reference presenting the latest methods of effective enviromental management.[circa 1990]

The material presentes here will be extremely helpful to natural resource managers, agronomists, botanists, enviromental engineers, ecologists, public health officials, and other concerned professionals.
