@idzie perhaps The Flow by Amy-Jane Beer https://www.ethicalbooksearch.com/books/m/is:9781472977373-is:9781038635006/the-flow-amy-jane-beer

@idzie I've been meaning to read "Thinking Like a Watershed"

@idzie Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer is focused on mosses but they are so damp and rainforesty that there is quite a bit of water info as well.

I liked How To Read Water by Tristan Gooley, which has a section on rivers. He writes more from a nature signs perspective than ecology, like things to notice about rivers.

@idzie not exactly what you asked for but this is a thing I know exists.

@idzie (for river ecology) Iʼm eyeing is The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family's Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life by Amy Bowers Cordalis and a book I loved: Stronghold: One Man’s Quest to Save the World’s Wild Salmon By Tucker Malarkey also Salmon in the Trees
Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest
by Amy Gulick #Salmon #River #Ecology #Bookstodon

@idzie if you’re interested in books on individual rivers A Clear Flowing Yarra by Harry Saddler is great

@joannaholman that's good to hear!
