The project grew out of the widely held conviction that river conservation nationwide is losing the battle with river degredation and that existing legislation and policies are inadequate to reverse the trend. Entering the Watershed recommends a comprehensive new approach to river protection based on principles of watershed dynamics, ecosystem function, and conservation biology-a nationwide, strategic community-and ecosystem-based watershed restoration initiative.watershedsground watersurface waterriverswater managementlegislationwater qualityland usefisheriesfood chainsecosystemsconservationBook
