"Written by a British Civil Engineer, this book deals, predominantly, with the UK water sector, however, principles and methods are largely international and therefore much,if not all of it, will beof interest to all. The Power of Water looks at virtually all aspects of in-land water management in some detail, including natural and man-made systems. Based on their history, it goes on to look at legislation, management structures, finance, quality control, and even recreation."-- Taken from back cover.
