'This book answers the call from multidisciplinary landscape design professionals and students who are striving to create engineered landscapes that are not only sustainable, but optimized for all aspects of human and environmental requirements. The text focuses on the primary obligation of engineered landscapes to reach specified performance goals but couples this with the priority of the hydrological, ecological and aesthetic expectations necessary for sustainable landscape design. Overall, a first class text book for practitioners, researchers and students in civil engineering, and associated disciplines including planning, restoration ecology, hydrology and landscape design. 'Dr. Mark Simmons, Director of Research and Consulting at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, University of Texas at Austin.
