<br />This is the first comprehensive work to deal with the multitudinous problems of the
<br />present and potential uses of the Colorado River ecosystem. The authors provide the
<br />framework for the exchange of state-of-the-art information and ideas between
<br />resources managers and scientists so that this valuable resource can be successfully
<br />managed for a majority of beneficial uses. Features: water quality and quantity,
<br />modeling aquatic systems, water augmentation, and economic evaluations. Current
<br />and projected effects of water and land management practices within the Colorado
<br />River Basin are examined in detail. Initial improvements are spelled out for the
<br />management of the physical, chemical, and biological aquatic resources within the
<br />total context of activities affecting the Colorado River. Practical guidance of total
<br />river management is a combination of several factors. This new book shows how
<br />hydrologic and institutional perspectives must be combined with understanding of
<br />riverine and lacustrine aquatic systems.

<br />
<br />Wetlands of the Colorado Plateau receiving water from irrigation can support several
<br />societal values. However, relatively little research has been conducted in irrigated
<br />wetlands, and their ability to alter water quality in particular remains relatively
<br />unknown. For an explicit, integrated, local-scale approach to biodiversity assessment,
<br />the report introduces a new procedure for rapidly evaluating wetland and riparian
<br />habitat. The procedure estimates the number of species likely to occur regularly in a
<br />particular wetland and uses this to assign importance to the wetland. The user can
<br />employ the procedure to evaluate a wetland using any subset of species and to select
<br />combinations of wetlands that will maximize avian diversity at local and regional
<br />scales.
