Dam removal continues to garner attention as a potential river restoration tool. The
increasing possibility of dam removal through the FERC relicensing process, as well as …

Low flows in Canadian streams and rivers can occur in both summer and winter and can be
stressful for fish and other aquatic biota. Low flows can cause a reduction in habitat …

H umans have long been fascinated by the dynamism of free-flowing waters. Yet we have
expended great effort to tame rivers for transportation, water supply, flood control …

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 …

Large catchment basins may be viewed as ecosystems in which natural and cultural
attributes interact. Contemporary river ecology emphasizes the four‐dimensional nature of …

Historically, biogeographic barriers to the movement of aquatic organisms existed at multiple
spatial scales and contributed to the development of unique regional faunas. At increasing …

Conserving biological resources native to large river systems increasingly depends on how
flow‐regulated segments of these rivers are managed. Improving management will require a …

Environmental flows aim to mimic components of a river's natural flow variability, including
the magnitude, frequency, timing, duration, rate of change and the predictability of flow …

This study was undertaken as part of a long‐term investigation of the ability of high‐level
fishways to rehabilitate fish communities upstream of high dams. Effects of Tallowa Dam on …

Globally, rivers are increasingly being subjected to various levels of physical alteration and
river regulation to provide humans with services such as hydropower, freshwater, flood …
