"This book covers recent research relevant to coastal watersheds. It addresses the impact of a stream's chemical, biological, and sediment pollutants on the quality of the receiving waters, such as estuaries, bays, and near-shore waters. The contents of the book can be divided into three sections; a) overview of hydrological modelling, b) water quality assessment, and c) watershed management." "In addition to academia, the book should be of interest to organizations concerned with watershed management, such as local and federal governments and environmental groups."--BOOK JACKET.
