Very good reference for applied fluvial geomorphology

As a practicing fluvial geomorphologist with 25 years of experience in river restoration and management, this is one is in the top dozen I reach for when I have fundamental questions or need a reference for a report. Should be on your bookshelf if you do this work.

Good text on fluvial processes.

This text is very informative and I really didn't appreciate it when I took my first fluvial geomorphology course. However as I became more acquanited with hydrology and environmental engineering, I also gained a better appreciation for this text. In my opinion, it is written for upper level undergrad and grad students because they will most likley get more from the text.
