A global perspective on environmental flow assessment: emerging trends in the development and application of environmental flow methodologies for rivers

Rebecca E. Tharme · 1 Sep 2003

Abstract Recognition of the escalating hydrological alteration of rivers on a global scale and resultant environmental degradation, has led to the establishment of the science of environmental flow assessment whereby the quantity and quality of water required for ecosystem conservation and resource protection are determined. A global review of the present status of environmental flow…

Redundancy and the choice of hydrologic indices for characterizing streamflow regimes

Julian D. Olden, N. LeRoy Poff · 13 Jan 2003

Abstract The utility of hydrologic indices for describing various aspects of streamflow regimes has resulted in their increased application in riverine research. Consequently, researchers are now confronted with the task of having to choose among a large number of competing hydrologic indices to reduce computational effort and variable redundancy prior to statistical analyses, while still…

Fluorescence analysis of dissolved organic matter in natural, waste and polluted waters—a review

N. Hudson, Andy Baker, Darren M. Reynolds · 3 Apr 2007

Abstract Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic systems originates from a range of sources. Some is allochthonous, transported from the surrounding landscape to the water body, and is derived from and influenced by the geology, land use and hydrology of its origin. Some is created in situ through microbial activity, which may provide an independent…

The riverine ecosystem synthesis: biocomplexity in river networks across space and time

James H. Thorp, Martin C. Thoms, Michael D. Delong · 1 Feb 2006

Abstract We propose an integrated, heuristic model of lotic biocomplexity across spatiotemporal scales from headwaters to large rivers. This riverine ecosystem synthesis (RES) provides a framework for understanding both broad, often discontinuous patterns along longitudinal and lateral dimensions of river networks and local ecological patterns across various temporal and smaller spatial scales. Rather than posing…

Fine‐grained sediment in river systems: environmental significance and management issues

Philip N. Owens, Ramón J. Batalla, Alison Collins et al. · 1 Sep 2005

Abstract Fine‐grained sediment is a natural and essential component of river systems and plays a major role in the hydrological, geomorphological and ecological functioning of rivers. In many areas of the world, the level of anthropogenic activity is such that fine‐grained sediment fluxes have been, or are being, modified at a magnitude and rate that…
