Understanding the causes of streamflow changes in the Eurasian Arctic
… dynamics are potentially confounded by the construction and operation of large reservoirs on many of the region's major rivers. A combination of data analysis and macroscale hydrological modeling are used to explore the controls on observed changes in annual and seasonal streamflow for …

Patterns and Pathways of Wetland Sedimentation and Landscape Change in Coastal Louisiana
… widespread land clearing and, later, large-scale reservoir construction. These modifications caused increases in suspended sediment concentrations, then sharp decreases, and have remained relatively stable since 1960. I show how changes in land area of the Mississippi River birdfoot delta reflect …

Infrastructural Landscapes: The Technopolitics of Watershed Planning in Asia
… competing freshwater infrastructure systems: reservoirs for water autonomy and aqueducts for integration with Mainland China. Moreover, the ecological impact of reservoir construction forced the British colonial government to temporarily include saline water in the freshwater supply, …

Assessment of Sediment and Salinity in the Lower Mekong River Basin
… built or planned in the future. However, dam construction work is adversely impacting the overall salinity condition in this region by reducing upstream flow. Upstream lower flows during the dry season contributes to the increased salinity in the lower Mekong Delta. In addition to these, …

Dissolved organic matter dynamics in diverse freshwater ecosystems across Canada: long-term trends, transformations, and explanatory factors
… (SSR) basin and assessed the impact of a large reservoir on riverine DOC properties. Contrary to many northern hemisphere studies, DOM concentrations did not show long-term increases. River discharge was a key factor influencing DOM patterns, with regional precipitation also playing a role in …

The fish and fishery of Stocks Reservoir, Lancashire
This study of the fish and fishery of Stocks Reservoir, Lancashire, is the result of contract work undertaken by the researcher for North West Water (NWW). In an attempt to describe the location of the study, relevant information covering the catchment, local geology, reservoir construction and …

Global development, acoustic and emissive consequences of hydropower
… water storage and job creation. Yet, the construction of dams for hydropower production has been recognised by scientists as one of the major threats to the ecological integrity of river systems. For instance, the fragmentation of river systems alters the flow, thermal, and sediment …
