The impact of large dams is a popular topic in environmental science, but the importance of
altered water quality as a driver of ecological impacts is often missing from such discussions …

Navigating trade-offs between meeting societal water needs and supporting functioning
ecosystems is integral to river management policy. Emerging frameworks provide the …

Rivers and streams that do not flow permanently (herein intermittent rivers; IR s) make up a
large proportion of the world's inland waters and are gaining widespread attention. We …

The release of water from deep below the surface of large dams causes significant
disturbance to water temperature regimes in downstream river channels with consequent …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Understanding the effects of hydrology on fish populations is essential to managing for
native fish conservation. However, despite decades of research illustrating streamflow …

Flow regulation via impoundments threatens lotic ecosystems and the services they provide
globally. Impoundments drastically alter flow and stream temperature variability within fluvial …

Water-sediment regulation (WSR) of the **aolangdi Reservoir in the Yellow River is different
from other water conservancy projects, with sediment resuspending along the river …

Pelagic spawning riverine fish (pelagophils) spawn in free‐flowing river habitats with
downstream drift of eggs and larvae but the spatial scale is often unknown, and this …

Riverine fishes have been increasingly threatened by the global proliferation of both small
dams and large hydropower projects to meet the soaring water, energy and food demands …
