Impacts of Climate Change and Climate Variability on Hydropower Potential in Data-Scarce Regions Subjected to Multi-decadal variability [PDF]

, 2019
To achieve sustainable development of hydroelectric resources, it is necessary to understand their availability, variability, and the expected impacts of climate change.

Using LiDAR‐Based DEM Elevation Difference Calculations to Estimate Net Streambank Erosion in an Iowa River, USA

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Streambank erosion is an important source of sediment to river systems but is difficult to quantify at watershed scales. In this study, high‐resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) measurements collected from 2009 and 2020 were used to quantify the difference in land surface elevation that occurred along the fourth and fifth‐order ...

Vulnerability of an Endangered Amphibian to Climate‐Change Induced Hydrologic Change

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change significantly affects precipitation patterns at multiple scales, which influences river and other hydrologic flow regimes. However, the impacts of climate‐driven changes to hydrologic regimes on the vulnerability of species associated with riparian areas remain largely unexplored.

The Increasing Role of Seasonal Rainfall in Western U.S. Summer Streamflow

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Summer streamflow variations strongly affect water supply reliability and ecological functioning of western U.S. (WUS) streams. Traditional snow‐based forecasts of summer streamflow are becoming less accurate with warming‐induced reductions in winter ...

Evaluation of Human Impact on Sediment Dynamics in an Intensively Managed Agricultural Watershed Using Distributed Modeling

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT By altering hydrological and geomorphological processes at watershed scales, humans have substantially influenced the movement of sediment on Earth's surface. Despite widespread recognition of human impacts on erosion and deposition, few studies have assessed the magnitude of change in watershed‐scale sediment fluxes before and after the ...

Drift Foraging by Allopatric and Sympatric Atlantic Salmon and Brown Trout Parr Under Rapid Flow Fluctuations

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydropeaking may result in behavioral responses in riverine organisms that experience rapid flow fluctuations. In stream fish, the balance between energy spent on swimming and foraging vs. food intake affects fitness, a balance strongly influenced by flow conditions.

Streamflow Depletion Caused by Groundwater Pumping: Fundamental Research Priorities for Management‐Relevant Science

Water Resources Research
Reductions in streamflow caused by groundwater pumping, known as “streamflow depletion,” link the hydrologic process of stream‐aquifer interactions to human modifications of the water cycle.

Application of temporal streamflow descriptors in hydrologic model parameter estimation [PDF]

, 2005
This paper presents a parameter estimation approach based on hydrograph descriptors that capture dominant streamflow characteristics at three timescales (monthly, yearly, and record extent).

A Process Based Modeling Approach to Assess Temperature Impacts of Riparian Vegetation Management in a Southwestern Wisconsin Trout Stream

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rising water temperatures driven by climate change threaten culturally and economically important salmonid fisheries throughout the Upper Midwest. Unsuitable thermal regimes degrade the effectiveness of habitat restoration projects in the region, thus strategies for mitigating peak summer stream temperatures are of interest to state and non ...
