Texas Riparian Areas, Hardback Book

Texas Riparian Areas Hardback

Edited by Nicole A. Davis, Thomas B. Hardy

Part of the River Books series

Hardback

Description

Riparian areas - transitional zones between the aquatic environments of streams, rivers, and lakes and the terrestrial environments on and alongside their banks - are special places.

They provide almost two hundred thousand miles of connections through which the waters of Texas flow.

Keeping the water flowing, in as natural a way as possible, is key to the careful and wise management of the state's water resources. Texas Riparian Areas evolved from a report commissioned by the Texas Water Development Board as Texas faced the reality of over-allocated water resources and long-term if not permanent drought conditions.

Its purpose was to summarize the characteristics of riparian areas and to develop a common vocabulary for discussing, studying, and managing them.
