Downstream displacement and stranding of fish are key impacts in hydropeaked rivers,
adversely affecting the organisms and, subsequently, the population. While these …

With the continuous development of hydropower on a global scale, stranding of freshwater
fishes is of growing concern, and an understanding of the mechanisms and variables …

Research and management of hydropeaked rivers largely overlook the ecological impacts of
recurring flow fluctuations, such as fish stranding, on ecosystem health. This article …

Rapid water level decreases due to hydropeaking are known to negatively affect riverine
biota, mainly due to the stranding of organisms in the river bank area that becomes regularly …

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

Flow intermittence is a major disturbance for riverine fishes. Many species of fishes that
evolved in naturally intermittent streams have specialized adaptations to survive drought …

Rapidly changing flows in regulated rivers can significantly impair freshwater biotas. At
present, this issue is mostly addressed by hydropeaking research. In contrast, only limited …

Fish can be stranded in pools during flow recessions that may occur naturally or as a result
of dam operations. Past studies have recommended dam operation guidelines that only …

Hydropeaking is known for its adverse impacts on river ecosystems. However, the
implementation of mitigation measures is still largely pending due to conflicting priorities of …

Unnatural changes in river flow patterns resulting from peak‐operating hydropower plants
adversely impact freshwater ecosystems. In particular, the rapid dewatering of shoreline …
