Focusing on the technical, social, and economic issues involved in watershed management, Integrated Watershed Management in the Global Ecosystem examines bettering land use practices and the condition of soil water resources. This volume is composed from an international symposium of the world’s leading experts and practitioners in soil and water conservation exploring an 'ecosystem-based' management approach to the problem. It examines why inattention to the issues of continued land and water degradation stresses human populations and seeks positive results through better understanding of the issues and improved management approaches.
