From the reviews: “The aim of this particular volume is to portray the highly diverse and complex nature of mountain waters … . Alpine Waters – meets these aims in all respects … . offers a good insight into the complex hydrological and biochemical nature of alpine regions, with a lot of sound analysis and good conclusions. … I have no hesitation in recommending this volume to all who have an interest in freshwater in high mountain regions … .” (Arthur J. Askew, Hydrological Sciences Journal, Vol. 56 (1), 2011)“An exhaustive collection of reviews on the physical, chemical, and biological hydrology of the western Alps and will be welcomed by researchers in mountain areas everywhere. For workers in European mountains, it provides a starting point and source; for scientists elsewhere, it offers a generally good review of recent research in the Alps and a source of the primary materials on which that review is based. … chapter includes reference lists … which will, perhaps, be its greatest value to researchers and students outside Europe.” (Nel Caine, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 32 (1), February, 2012)
