A Method to Implement Natural Flow Regimes for Regulated Rivers

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rivers throughout the world have been dammed for flood control, irrigation, hydropower, and water storage for centuries. Dams service the economic and development needs of societies, but degrade the ecology of rivers. To conserve diminishing aquatic species and their habitats, methods are needed to help managers implement flow releases with ...

Evaluating Approximations of River Channel Shape Using a National Cross‐Section Database

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Many hydrologic applications require basic information on the size and shape of river channels, but measuring cross section (XS) geometry in the field or via remote sensing can be costly and often provides only partial coverage. Given these challenges, we capitalized upon an existing data set of 46,971 XS from gaging stations to evaluate ...

Hydraulic Effects of Channel Realignment and Floodplain Reconnection in a Headwater Stream

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Channel realignment and floodplain reconnection are increasingly used as nature‐based solutions for flood management, yet their hydraulic effects remain poorly quantified in field settings of moderate‐gradient, small order channels. This study examines the impact of such interventions on hydraulic response in a headwater catchment, Goldrill ...

An Integrated Modeling Framework for Sediment Dynamics During Urban Flooding: Application to Hurricane Harvey in Houston

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Floodwater can mobilize and redistribute large volumes of sediment from upland to downstream urban areas, threatening infrastructure, water quality, and ecosystem health. However, existing modeling approaches often fail to capture sediment dynamics in urban floodplains due to the lack of integration between upland hydrological processes and ...

Rainwater Regulation Alters Water Partitioning and Vegetation Growth on the Loess Plateau

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rainwater regulation, which aims to harness surface runoff (Qs) and recharge soil moisture (SM) to support vegetation growth, plays an increasingly vital role in sustaining ecosystem functions in water‐limited regions. However, the current understanding of how rainwater regulation modifies land surface processes and influences regional ...
