Summary
"This volume presents many case studies to show how cities and towns throughout the U.S. are restoring their wetlands, watersheds, rivers, beaches, and harbors even as rapid urbanization has put more stress on water supplies. These accounts are designed to educate citizens and public officials about water-related issues and concerns. Regional and national resource directories are included"--Provided by publisher.
