Increases in river fragmentation globally threaten freshwater biodiversity. Rivers are
fragmented by many agents, both natural and anthropogenic. We review the distribution and …

Legacy effects on river sediments are those which alter the location and volume of
sediments and/or presence of contaminants within the sediments as a result of human …

By trapping sediment in reservoirs, dams interrupt the continuity of sediment transport
through rivers, resulting in loss of reservoir storage and reduced usable life, and depriving …

Water and sediment inputs are fundamental drivers of river ecosystems, but river
management tends to emphasize flow regime at the expense of sediment regime. In an effort …

Two decades after the construction of the first major dam, the Mekong basin and its six
riparian countries have seen rapid economic growth and development of the river system …

Abstract The Mekong River, largely undeveloped prior to 1990, is undergoing rapid dam
construction. Seven dams are under construction on the mainstem in China and 133 …

Hydrologic connections can link hillslopes to channel networks, streams to lakes, subsurface
to surface, land to atmosphere, terrestrial to aquatic, and upstream to downstream. These …

Dam removal is widely used as an approach for river restoration in the United States. The
increase in dam removals—particularly large dams—and associated dam‐removal studies …

A substantial increase in fluvial sediment supply relative to transport capacity causes
complex, large-magnitude changes in river and floodplain morphology downstream …

Support for low‐carbon energy and opposition to new large dams encourages global
development of small hydropower facilities. This support is manifested in national and …
