Synopsis:
Water is our most vital resource. Yet few of us understand the basics of watershed ecology...Watersheds provides a fascinating overview of the fundamentals of ecology by showing how watersheds work, how all water systems - streams, sewers, rivers, oceans, our own plumbing - are interconnected and interdependent: water and air pollution; ecological restoration; aquatic habitats; exotic species invasion; wetlands; rivers; habitat loss; How Can I Help? section offers practical and meaningful ways for you the reader to help the environment. The authors' method is excellent; this would make a good supplementary text for a high school biology class, but would also be perfect for the ecologically conscious parent. This is an excellent primer on ecology, simply written and charmingly illustrated with more than 100 watercolour illustrations
