Ecological responses to altered flow regimes: a literature review to inform the science and management of environmental flows

N. LeRoy Poff, Julie K. H. Zimmerman · 23 Sep 2009

Summary 1. In an effort to develop quantitative relationships between various kinds of flow alteration and ecological responses, we reviewed 165 papers published over the last four decades, with a focus on more recent papers. Our aim was to determine if general relationships could be drawn from disparate case studies in the literature that might…

The thermal regime of rivers: a review

Daniel Caissie · 10 Jul 2006

Summary 1. The thermal regime of rivers plays an important role in the overall health of aquatic ecosystems, including water quality issues and the distribution of aquatic species within the river environment. Consequently, for conducting environmental impact assessments as well as for effective fisheries management, it is important to understand the thermal behaviour of rivers…

How much water does a river need?

Brian D. Richter, Jeffrey V. Baumgartner, Robert Wigington et al. · 1 Feb 1997

1. This paper introduces a new approach for setting streamflow‐based river ecosystem management targets and this method is called the ‘Range of Variability Approach’ (RVA). The proposed approach derives from aquatic ecology theory concerning the critical role of hydrological variability, and associated characteristics of timing, frequency, duration, and rates of change, in sustaining aquatic ecosystems.…

The ecological limits of hydrologic alteration (ELOHA): a new framework for developing regional environmental flow standards

N. LeRoy Poff, Brian D. Richter, Angela H. Arthington et al. · 3 Sep 2009

Summary 1. The flow regime is a primary determinant of the structure and function of aquatic and riparian ecosystems for streams and rivers. Hydrologic alteration has impaired riverine ecosystems on a global scale, and the pace and intensity of human development greatly exceeds the ability of scientists to assess the effects on a river‐by‐river basis.…
