The effects of future extreme precipitation events on stream hydrology and hydraulics of stream crossing structures
… to hydrologic models to determine projected stream flow characteristics and compare to current stream flow characteristics. The result indicate increases in peak flood events across all return periods for the projected timeframes compared to observed conditions. In Indiana and Michigan the …

Stormwater Treatment by Two Retrofit Infiltration Practices
… surfaces associated with urbanization change stream hydrology by increasing peak flow rates, storm-flow volumes and flood frequency, and degrade water quality through increases in sediment, nutrient, and bacteria concentrations. In response to water quality and quantity issues within the …

Variation in Salamander Life History and Community Composition Across an Urban Gradient in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
<p>Urbanization threatens to alter stream systems in watersheds in the eastern United States. These highly disturbed systems may result in many local extirpations of sensitive salamander species. One group of organisms that often persists in urban streams is the <em>Eurycea bislineata</em> …

Hydrological aspects of brown trout management in the Selwyn River system, Canterbury, New Zealand
… of the Selwyn River system; to outline the streamflow-related requirements of trout; to show how the hydrology of the Selwyn River system affects these needs; and to investigate different management options in relation to maintaining or improving the quality of the trout fishery. The …

Impacts of climate change on stream hydrologic and geochemical fluxes
… stored and transported before it contributes to streams. However, hydrologists don’t currently have the data needed to constrain or model how subsurface flowpaths are changing, thus making it difficult to predict future streamflow and chemistry. Characterizing changing flow and chemistry in …

Analysis, Modeling, and Forecasting Of Urban Flooding
… research objectives were fulfilled. First, the Stream Hydrology And Rainfall Knowledge System (SHARKS) app was developed to improve upon existing real-time hydrologic and meteorological data retrieval/visualization platforms through the integration of analysis tools to study the hydrologic …

The influence of urbanization on runoff generation and stream chemistry in Massachusetts watersheds
… United States and has implications for watershed hydrology and water quality. Here I evaluate the effect of integrated landscape features (e.g., percent residential or developed) and watershed-scale attributes influenced by urbanization on stream nutrient concentrations in headwater catchments in …

Headwater stream network connectivity: biogeochemical consequences and carbon fate
… simple nor static environments. Heterogeneous stream corridors constitute the majority of river network length and regulate cycling of carbon and oxygen as they expand and contract their connections across the landscape. Though headwater streams integrate many biogeochemical signals from the …

The Geomorphic Influence of Agricultural Land Use on Stream Hydraulics and Biological Function
Agricultural land use near streams frequently results in long-term disturbance to woody riparian vegetation and an alteration of reach scale geomorphic structure. Such disturbances often result in increased fine sediment input to the stream along with direct changes in channel structure. The study …
