FROM THE CRITICS
John Fortin
The book first presents a historical look at attitudes toward wetlands, followed by current U.S. legislation regarding wetlands. The book then describes the basic components of wetlands, their natural creation process, and their functions and value. A special section on constructed wetlands considerations and operation and maintenance, which is followed by a brief paragraph on wetlands restoration and creation, closes out the text.
Creating Freshwater Wetlands would be used best for initial research of wetlands creation.
