✦ Synopsis

There are many books on the subject of using GIS technologies for watershed management. This book attempts to take a little from each, but it does so poorly.

It adds nothing to the knowledge of this subject since it just borrows from all the others. It would have been better if the author asked experts in the field to write chapters.

The chapters are poorly organized.
