Reviews
A Watershed Year captures the essence of the 2008 eastern Iowa floods in essays written by leading scientists, watershed specialists, and public administrators, many of whom experienced the devastation of the flooding firsthand. It is a must read for both those trying to better understand the circumstances resulting in the historic 2008 floods and those involved in mitigation and planning efforts to deal with future floods. In AWatershed Year Connie Mutel challenges each of us to consider how we should learn to live with floods with a more holistic, sustainable watershed approach. -- Larry J. Weber, director, IIHR-Hydroscience and Engineering, University of Iowa A Watershed Year reminds us that floods, both large and small, will inevitably happen again in the future--perhaps with even greater frequency because of our changing climate. It does a great service to the people of Iowa by collecting concise, informed recommendations to help individuals, communities, and the state say 'never again' to the devastation we experienced in the floods of 2008. --State Senator Rob Hogg
