Bias in Peak Flood Discharges: Are Our Bridges and Culverts Undersized?

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable methods for peak discharge predictions at ungaged locations are required for infrastructure design and floodplain management. For decades, a standard practice in the United States has been to utilize US Geological Survey regional regression equations (StreamStats) as a singular method. However, implementation of multiple methods, such

Resilient Flow Regimes in the Rio Grande—Río Bravo Basin

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is essential for human development and is an indispensable resource for economic activity and a country's growth. However, current water practices, along with increasing land‐use change, climate change, and agricultural practices, have significantly altered the hydrological cycle and water availability.

The Transboundary Reach of the Columbia River: Cottonwood Colonization Followed Flow Moderation From the Columbia River Treaty Dams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Columbia river provides the largest Pacific outflow in the Western Hemisphere and the greatest hydropower production of any North American river system. For hydropower generation and flood risk management, four massive water storage reservoirs followed the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, with three Canadian dams,

Injury Risks to a Migratory Freshwater Fish During Downstream Passage Through a Regulated Floodplain Outlet: A Case Study on Golden Perch (Macquaria ambigua)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River infrastructures such as weirs, dams, inlet and outlet regulators often impair connectivity, leading to degradation and loss of key habitats for riverine fishes. This also holds true for golden perch (Macquaria ambigua Richardson), a migratory species in Australia's Murray–Darling Basin.

Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that

A Tool for Prioritizing Gravel Augmentation Reaches for Sediment Starved Rivers

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gravel augmentation is a widely used restoration technique used to improve habitat below dams, including salmonids spawning habitat. However, gravel augmentation can be cost‐prohibitive, and it is often unclear which stream segments have the highest potential to benefit spawning salmonids.

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.
