Industry Reviews

`This book provides a good overview of microbial processes in the functioning of reservoir ecosystems and can be recommended for microbiologists, biologists, limnologists and students.' Spixiana, 9 (1986) `... the book makes fascinating reading and adds an important, previously neglected dimension to our understanding of the proliferating reservoir ecosystem. Every trainee and practising limnologist should read it, and someone should extract and interpret the guts of it for the benefit of reservoir managers and water quality engineers.' Australian Journal of Ecology, 12 (1987) `The book will be of most interest to engineers and biologists involved with reservoir management.' Journal of Environment Quality, 15:2 (1986)
