Large storage dams have widely documented impacts on downstream aquatic
environments, but hydroelectric dams with little or no capacity for storage of water inflows (ie …

Suspended sediments (SSs) contribute to the maintenance of several ecosystems. However,
intense soil erosion can lead to environmental, social, and economic impacts. South …

Run-of-river dams are often considered to have lower environmental impacts than storage
dams due to their smaller reservoirs and low potential for flow alteration. However, this has …

Hydroelectric dams represent an important threat to seasonally flooded environments in the
Amazon basin. We aimed to evaluate how a dam in the Madeira River, one of the largest …

Identifying rainfall regions associated with specific modes of variability is of practical interest
for water resources management, seasonal forecasting, and mitigation of weather‐related …

Abstract The Amazon River is the largest river in the world in terms of freshwater discharge
and sediment load. Understanding the fluvial sediment transport processes operating in the …
