Trade Review"Anyone seeking a broad perspective on the whole field will find this an accessible and non-technical guide, including useful references in the footnotes to direct further reading on a whole range of more specialised topics. CSIRO Publishing has produced an extensively illustrated and attractive paperback printed on paper of a quality rarely found in paperbacks." -- Tony Dingle * Historical Records of Australian Science 31(2) 2020 *
"This type of in-depth, unbiased, but critical material about Australia's water resources cannot be found on the internet. It is all here in this one publication." -- Bob Winters * Geographical Education Vol 33 *
