Environmental flow programs aim to protect aquatic habitats and species while recognizing
competing water demands. Often this is done at the local or watershed level because it is …

Environmental flows, or the practice of allocating water in river systems for ecological
purposes, is a leading strategy for conserving aquatic species and improving river health …

Stream restorations are increasingly critical for managing and recovering freshwater
biodiversity in human‐dominated landscapes. However, few studies have quantified how …

Large state or regional environmental flow programs, such as the one based on the
California Environmental Flows Framework, rely on broadly applicable relationships …

Flow alteration is a pervasive issue across highly urbanized watersheds that can impact the
physical and biological condition of streams. In highly altered systems, flows may support …

Streamflow regimes that maintain vital functions and processes of aquatic ecosystems are
critical to sustaining ecosystem health. In rivers with altered flow regimes, restoring …

Despite rises in drought frequency and human water demands, streamflow regime shifts
from perennial to non‐perennial have not been evaluated in many arid/semi‐arid regions …

Explaining the spatially variable impacts of flood‐generating mechanisms is a longstanding
challenge in hydrology, with increasing and decreasing temporal flood trends often found in …

Environmental water allocation in California is a complex legal process involving various
government agencies and stakeholders. E-flow requirements can be based on annual runoff …

California's water problems are intense; so much so they are often referred to as 'wicked'for
their extraordinary depth of complexity and general unsolvability. Yet it recently occurred to …
