Encyclopedia of Inland Waters, Second Edition, focuses on a variety of key areas surrounding inland waters, from the distribution of water on Earth  to the properties of water, including the hydrologic cycle, the physics of water movement in lakes and rivers; it includes topics such as waterborne diseases, the metabolism of aquatic ecosystems, pollution conservation, biodiversity, pollution and cycling of chemicals. New topics cover comprehensively recent advances in the field, explaining pressures and underlying concepts and theories.



- Offers readers a 'one-stop', comprehensive resource for access to a wealth of information and critical summaries to fully support their research and activities in this area
- Includes interdisciplinary articles written by renowned academics and practitioners from various fields and regions, thus ensuring the content provides state-of-the-art information and knowledge about the structure, functions, values, threats and management opportunities for inland water
- Fills a critical gap of information in a field that has seen significant progress in past years, ranging from the structures, functions, values of, and pressures on rivers, lakes, wetlands and ground waters, to underlying concepts and theories
