Biological Assessment and Criteria: Tools for Water Resource Plotting and Choice Making Books
Product Description
Biological Assessment and Criteria presents a state-of-the-art overview of the applications of biological assessments and biocriteria for water quality management in fresh waters. The book presents case studies which illustrate how bioassessment has been used to identify and diagnose water quality problems. It also provides examples of the use of qualitative and quantitative biocriteria as regulatory tools to complement water quality criteria and standards. The first book to bestow the technical foundation, rationale, program and policy relevance, and legal basis for the most right tools used to assess freshwater natural resource and regulatory efforts, this book provides helpful and timely in rank for water quality managers.

The book provides very thorough insights into biological foundations in relation to water resource management in North America. For those learners and researchers who are interested in biogical monitoring using index of biotic integrity(IBI), there is a lot to gain from the book. One strength of the book is that it provides many examples of IBI regional applications, which are especially helpful for those who are plotting to initiate IBI to regions where it has not been developed or tested so far. Many chapters are devoted to fish IBI, even as invertebrate IBI is also explored a bit. Another strength of the book is that it relates biological criteria to conservation policy, thus making the nature of it interdisciplinary and matter-of-fact. The book is also matter-of-fact in the sense that it elaborated on field sampling methods. The book is probably best for intermediate/advanced learners and researchers of this field, and a bit unsuitable for broadcast reading. Biological foundations and their integration into conservation policy in this book are also valuable for people who are working in freshwater conservation and water resource management outside North America. In fact, I am a graduate student from Japan studying in Canada, and I am sure that the book contains valuable in rank for my home people, too. I certainly rate the book 5 stars!
