Inland aquatic habitats occur worldwide at all scales from marshes, swamps and temporary puddles, to ponds, lakes and inland seas and from streams and creeks to rolling rivers. Vital for biological diversity and ecosystem function and as resources for human life, commerce and leisure, inland waters are a vital component of life on Earth. The Encyclopedia of Inland Waters describes and explains all the basic features of the subject, from water chemistry and physics, to the biology of aquatic creatures and the complex function and balance of aquatic ecosystems of varying size and complexity.

Used and abused as essential resources, it is vital that we understand and manage them as much as we appreciate and enjoy them. This extraordinary reference brings together the very best research to provide the basic and advanced information necessary for scientists to understand these ecosystems—and for water resource managers and consultants to manage and protect them for future generations.
