{"product_id":"water-quality-isbn-9780865424692","title":"Water Quality","description":"Once a purely technical sub-discipline of hydrology, water quality management is now a social and political discipline, with concerns ranging from ensuring adequate health standards to preserving biological diversity and ecosystem integrity. This book goes beyond the technical manuals and specialty publications to provide support and guidance for the everyday decisions made by water-quality managers. \u003cb\u003eWater Quality: Management of a Natural Resource\u003c\/b\u003e addresses the rarely touched upon social, biophysical, land-use and policy considerations, which reflect the issues that confront managers and decision-makers. In a series of incisive reviews, experts address key topics in modern water resource management and case studies illustrate the successes and failures of past management efforts. \u003cb\u003eWater Quality: Management of a Natural Resource\u003c\/b\u003e develops and presents a management view requiring an awareness of: the social context of management, new ecological theories, and how policy is implemented in different situations and countries. \u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Water quality management: an evolving field for changing values 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 History of water quality management: the problem and its science 29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Attitudes, goals, and management strategies 45\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Global water resources and how they are used: the expression of goals and objectives 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Developing standards from the traditions of toxicology 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 classification and environmental quality assessment: the search for ecologically accurate aquatic metrics 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The role of scale issues in water quality management 127\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Water and the hydrologic cycle 143\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 rivers and streams: one-way flow systems 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Groundwater and water quality: water to live on 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Coastal zone water quality management 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Lakes and water quality impacts 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Wetlands: productive, vital, cleansing, and threatened 249\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Structuring water management goals by ecological level 267\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Responses to stress at the ecosystem, community, population, and individual levels 287\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Regionalization in natural resource management: Ecoregions 305\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Effects of land use on water quality 321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Management of water quality in a forested landscape 345\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 Management of water quality in an agricultural landscape 371\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Management of water quality in an urban landscape 397\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Special issue: cultural eutrophication 425\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 Special issue: acidification of fresh water resources 445\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 Special issue: global change: a proactive management challenge 465\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 Special issue: exotics: a special biological pollutant 487\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 Cultural dimensions of water quality policy 511\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 Paradigms in motion: integrated approaches to water quality policy 535\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e27 Decision making in practice: case studies 561\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLiterature Cited and References 589\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 607\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eJim Perry and Elizabeth Leigh Vanderklein are the authors of Water Quality: Management of a Natural Resource, published by Wiley.
