Intended to be as complete as possible without being stuffily encyclopaedic, it takes the form of short full-coverage chapters on the various aspects of the science and pleasure of water gardening: planning; design and preliminary construction; building, equipping and planting; creating a rockery and bog farden; stocking with fish; lighting and maintenance. The importance of loction is stressed--seeking the sun and avoiding leaf-fall and flooding; there is advice on the choice of pumps and filters, construction waterfalls, installing fountains, and the careful husbandry of plants and fish. It is a book for dipping into for information on a specific point, yet in total is a complete study of the whold subject and to be thumbed through for years to come.
