Effects of damming on the hydrological regime of Punarbhaba river basin wetlands
In 1992, damming was performed in Punarbhaba river (India and Bangladesh), disturbing
water flow and riparian wetland ecology. We measured the eco-hydrological failure rate …

Functional responses of aquatic macroinvertebrates to flow regulation are shaped by natural flow intermittence in Mediterranean streams
Running waters in Mediterranean regions are strongly regulated by dams, which produce
significant alterations to natural flow regimes. Climate change will reduce discharge and …
