The centrality of human-river interactions has had great impacts on the biodiversity of rivers (salmon and other threatened species) that have been the focus of historical and current intense conflicts of values (e.g., water in the Sacramento-San Joaquin system and California "water wars" in general)."--Publisher's description   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 551.48309 Ta Checked In Add Copy to MyList
