Underground Rivers - new book

 (Note from Thorn:  I have downloaded this but haven't gotten my teeth into it yet, but it looks interesting enough to pass on the word.)

Richard Heggen, Prof. Emeritus of Civil Engineering, University of New Mexico with a courtesy appointment to OSU's Institute for Water and Watersheds, has put on-line his book, Underground Rivers.
