Reviews
I would not hestitate to recommend Ecohydrology for undergraduate students and resource managers .Eamus et al. have helped readers understand landscape function from more than one disciplinary perspective. As a result, they have achieved their main objective and have done so in a clearly structured and well-written text that makes for pleasurable reading.

The book is excellent for equipping the hydrologist with the tools of the trade. The authors need to be commended also for expanding their vision beyond steam gauges and hydraulic models to the role of vegetation in using water and contributing to restoring a degraded or badly eroded land mass.
