Processes and Management
As pressures on Australia?s inland waters intensify from
population growth, expanding resource development and climate
change, there is an urgent need to manage and protect these special
areas. Understanding their ecology underpins their wise
management and conservation.
Australian Freshwater Ecology vividly describes the
physical, chemical and biological features of wetlands, lakes,
streams, rivers and groundwaters in Australia. It presents
the principles of aquatic ecology linked to practical management
and conservation, and explains the causes, mechanisms, effects and

regimes, eutrophication, salinization, acidification and
sedimentation of inland waters.
