'I have read this book with great interest and found that most papers provide something new, inspiring, and applicable in hydraulic research. In summary, this book is a valuable source of information that should stimulate new approaches and developments in hydraulic research, especially in studying the physics of hydraulic resistance, sediment transport, flow-biota interactions, and their modeling.'
