Hester, Erich T. and Martin W. Doyle, 2011. Human Impacts to River Temperature and Their
Effects on Biological Processes: A Quantitative Synthesis. Journal of the American Water …

Water temperatures control life histories and diversity of aquatic species. Hydropower
regulation, particularly in high head systems, alters natural water temperature regimes …

Stream temperature, an important measure of ecosystem health, is expected to be altered by
future changes in climate and land use, potentially leading to shifts in habitat distribution for …

There is growing evidence that river temperatures are increasing under climate change,
which is expected to be exacerbated by increased abstractions to satisfy human water …

Water temperatures fluctuate in time and space, creating diverse thermal regimes on river
networks. Temporal variability in these thermal landscapes has important biological and …

Water temperatures are increasing in many streams and rivers throughout the US. We
analyzed historical records from 40 sites and found that 20 major streams and rivers have …

To regulate human-induced changes to fish habitat, resource managers commonly set
standards based on maximum allowable changes. For example, new legislation in British …

Anthropogenic impoundments (eg large dams, small reservoirs, and ponds) are expanding
in number globally, influencing downstream temperature regimes in a diversity of ways that …

Despite escalating conflict over fresh water, recent years have witnessed a growing
realisation that human society must modify its behaviour to ensure long‐term ecological …

Temperature is a fundamental aspect of water quality in rivers, controlling the rate of many
ecological processes. By disrupting the flow of water, large reservoirs and dams can …
