Surface water resources. Canberra, Department of National Development,
1967.50 cents. Map-sheet (scale 1: 6000000) and commentary (booklet), published in the Department's Atlas of Australian resources, second series. Information on average annual run-off is given, the first time this has been presented in such detail for the whole of Australia. The striking feature of the map is the way it shows uneven distribution of surface water and extreme variation in stream flows seasonally; graphs show annual discharge at selected river gauging stations. (Nature and Resources, Vol. V, No. 1, 1969)
T. H. CAMBELLand R. O. SYLVESTER(Eds.): Water resources management and public policy. Seattle University of Washington Press, 1968, 253 pp., $ 9.50. This volume, the second in the Public Policy Issues in Resource Management series, based on seminars sponsored by the Graduate School of Public Affairs of the University of Washington, brings together the views of scientists, economists, engineers, lawyers, and industrialists. It attempts to outline many of the relevant technical, scientific and policy issues which would be considered in the management of water resources. (Nature and Resources, Vol. V, No. 1, 1969.)
S. H. JENKINS(Ed.) : Advances in Water Pollution Research. Proceedings of the 4th International Conference, Prague, 1969. London, Pergamon Press, 936 pp., numerous figures, graphs, etc. ~" 18. $ 48. This fine volume presents the proceedings of the 4th International Conference of the International Association on Water Pollution Research held at Prague during 21-25 April, 1969. The Conference was originally scheduled to take place in Prague in September, 1968, but was deferred owing to the August crisis of that year in Czechoslovakia; one thousand participants had registered by August, 1968, and an additional 200 were expected to register at the Conference. A total of 55 communications, with discussions, are presented under the three Section headings of Stream Pollution, Waste Water Treatment, and Lakes, Reservoirs and Marine Environment. Space does not permit of adequate review of so wide a subject, but it should be recorded that the papers and discussions by numerous specialists from many
