Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Application of a Presumptive Standards Approach to Evaluate Environmental Flows in a Highly Regulated River Basin

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presumptive standards approach to environmental flows offers a method to develop interim guidelines for ecological and social‐cultural flow needs. The approach is based on deriving acceptable percent‐of‐flow limits based on naturalised flows (the absence of depletion or alteration of flow), and it can be an effective precursor to a full ...

The Role of Sediment Supply on Fish Habitat Dynamics of a Morphologically Active River Widening

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Restoration measures, such as river widening, aim to reactivate key morphodynamic processes, which are critical drivers of fluvial habitat dynamics. While some evidence supports the important role of sediment supply on river widening's morphology, its link to fish habitat availability and dynamics remains unclear.

Reconstructing Long‐Term Historical Hydrologic Alteration to Support Environmental Flows in Texas

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding and quantifying hydrologic alteration is essential for effective watershed management and ecological conservation. This study developed a modeling framework to predict reference hydrology and assess and model hydrologic alteration across Texas using publicly available geospatial datasets.

River Ice Processes Modelling: A Comprehensive Review

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT River ice strongly influences hydrology, hydrodynamics, and ecosystems in cold regions, with an impact on flooding, hydropower generation, navigation, and aquatic habitats. Modeling river ice processes is therefore essential for both scientific understanding and operational management.
