Watershed Management

Watersheds are recognized as vitally important resources which need to be managed in a coordinated fashion to attain sustainability. This volume presents contributions to the analysis of watersheds in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, in three broad subject areas: - Global and national perspectives; - Elements of integrated watershed management; - Innovative approaches for mitigation and restoration of watersheds. The aim of this book is to summarize new perspectives that combine social, economic and environmental concerns with approaches to watershed management that treat forest, range, agricultural and urban parcels in an integrated manner.
