ABSTRACT River regulation following damming is often associated with deleterious downstream effects, in large part due to reduced total discharge and disruption of seasonal flooding. These effects would be expected to be exacerbated by drought, particularly extended drought.

ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

ABSTRACT The geometry of alluvial river channels can give insight into their stability, which can inform predictions of morphological change, flood risk and ecological degradation. Fundamental hydraulic geometry relations can be used to estimate the equilibrium dimensions of stable river channels by evaluating the balance between the erodibility of bed

Potential impact of climate change on improved and unimproved water supplies in Africa [PDF]
With significant climate change predicted in Africa over the next century, this chapter explores a key question: how will rural water supplies in Africa be affected? Approximately 550 million people in Africa live in rural communities and are reliant on

Search and Passage Are Decoupled for Migrating Trout Kelts at Multi‐Exit Dam
ABSTRACT Longitudinal and lateral river connectivity have been drastically reduced over time, with hydropower development as a major driver of fragmentation. While fishways are widely implemented to support upstream migration, downstream passage remains a major challenge.

Network analysis of functional genes among prokaryotes, and eukaryotes in natural and artificial rivers. Abstract Periphyton in aquatic ecosystems plays vital roles in the elemental cycle process and is vulnerable to anthropogenic interference. However, few studies have explored the elemental cycles of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and ...

Abstract Optimizing reservoir refill operation rules is crucial for enhancing reservoir sustainability and resilience. This study proposes a refill operation model designed to derive optimal refill guide curves by considering flood risk prevention, maximum storage levels, and the combined benefits of hydropower generation and energy storage.
