Hydropower is commonly considered a renewable energy source. Nevertheless, this does
not imply an absence of impacts on the riverine ecosystem, the extent of which is expected …

Eco-hydraulic models are wide extended tools to assess physical habitat suitability on
aquatic environments. Currently, the application of these tools is limited to short river …

Hydropeaking, defined as frequent and rapid variation in flow in regulated rivers with
hydropower plants over a short period of time, usually sub‐daily to weekly, alters hydraulic …

Storage hydropower plants, which are an important component of energy production in
Switzerland, can lead to hydro‐and thermopeaking, affecting river habitats and organisms …

10 Hydropeaking–the artificial increase and decrease of discharge and corresponding water
11 levels in rivers–is characterized by steep rising and falling limbs of hydrographs based …

Numerical hydrodynamic models enable the simulation of hydraulic conditions under
various scenarios and are thus suitable tools for hydropeaking related assessments …

During the early flood season of the Yangtze River, which encompasses the spawning
season of four major Chinese carps, reservoirs tend to remain at a low limiting water level in …

Urban rivers are socioecological systems, and restored habitats may be attractive to both
sensitive species and recreationists. Understanding the potential conflicts between …

The cascade dam constructions in the Lancang River basin will alter the river's hydrological
status and affect the habitat quality of spawning sites. In this study, an ecohydraulic model …

The increase in minimum flows has rarely been considered to mitigate the ecological impact
of hydroelectric power plants because it requires a site-specific design and expensive long …
