This book provides a comprehensive these on the current state of the science and an understanding of the bio-geophysical components of inland aquatic ecosystems. The existence of human beings is closely linked to our proximity to freshwater. Despite being of high significance, anthropogenic activities continue to place stressors on inland aquatic ecosystems.
