An integrated framework for water resources management 
 It has been said that "water is the next oil." A strong global consensus has begun to develop that effective water management must start at the watershed level, and that water management actions must be taken in the context of watersheds, and the human communities in them.  Integrated Watershed Management: Principles and Practice, Second Edition  presents a flexible, integrated framework for watershed management that addresses the biophysical, social, and economic issues affecting water resources and their use.
 Comprehensive in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, it equips readers with the necessary tools and techniques to develop sound watershed management policy and practice―from problem definition and goal setting to selecting management strategies and procedures for monitoring implementation. Ten years of practice have demonstrated that the core concepts presented in the first edition of this book remain true and important. This Second Edition is fully updated to reflect current practice and recent experience in watershed management, including: 
 New coverage of strategies for the selection and evaluation of public engagement processes 
 Sampling, data management, and computer simulation technologies 
 Recent legislative changes 
 International watershed issues 
 Many new case studies
 Water resources planning and management is not just a technical challenge; it is also a social challenge, and an opportunity. It is, ultimately, a framework for human societies to shape, protect, and improve the environment in which they live. Providing a rational framework for the development of water resources management strategies,  Integrated Watershed Management, Second Edition  is a one-stop resource for upper-level students and professionals in environmental science, natural resource management, and environmental engineering.
