Críticas:

'The key features and strengths are the breadth and scope of this text at the introductory level. With excellent diagrams, guest essays, case studies, policy analysis, and key electronic references, there really is not another text of this scope.' Timothy Link, University of Idaho

'The holistic approach towards water combined with ecological principles is a definite strength.' Alan D. Steinman, Director, Annis Water Resources Institute, Grand Valley State University

'The book diverges from many other books. It has a more applied focus and will have an audience in environmental studies and resource management programs.' Jules Blais, University of Ottawa

'The book would be worthy of purchase as an overview or summary volume or as an introductory textbook, touching briefly as it does on many aspects of water use.' Journal of the American Water Resources Association

'The author's core goal for this book is to emphasise the need not just to learn facts but also to recognise interactions and consequences and to analyse what the results might be in a variety of circumstances.' Jonathan W. Buckley, University of Michigan

'The authors' core goal for this book is to emphasize the need not just to learn facts but also to recognize interactions and consequences and to analyze what the results might be in a variety of circumstances ... the authors have provided a solid foundation for the reader to be able to achieve this goal and subsequently apply the information presented to a variety of current and future water resources and environmental issues.'
