Water is newsworthy: there is, or will be, a world water crisis. Aggravated by climate change,
we are approaching the limits of human exploitation of freshwater resources, notably in …

Globally, rivers systems are under considerable and increasing threat from multiple
anthropogenic stresses, including different types of direct (eg channel engineering) and …

Despite geomorphic processes being increasingly recognized as a vital component of river
management projects, evidence suggests that they may not be adequately captured in …

Floodplains provides an overview of floodplains and their management in temperate
regions. It synthesizes decades of research on floodplain ecosystems, explaining …

During the period 1999–2002, 19km of the Skjern River and 22km2 of the cultivated river
valley were restored into a meandering river, wetlands, meadows and shallow lakes. The …

Sediment connectivity has been shown in recent years to explain how the watershed
configuration controls sediment transport. However, we find no studies develop a watershed …

Levee construction results in the systematic replumbing of river systems and reduces the
frequency of floodplain inundation, which impacts nutrient delivery and transformations in …

Numerous studies document the extent and intensity of human appropriation of ecosystem
services and the manipulation of Earth's surface and fluxes of water, sediment and nutrients …
