It is predicted that 60% of all new energy investments over the next 20 years will be in
renewables. The estimation for new hydropower production is 25% of all new renewables …

Dams are essential to society, yet have tremendous environmental impacts, for which there
is an increasing interest in mitigation. At the same time, sedimentation threatens the …

Although the hydrologic cycle is a continuously renewable resource, the natural rate of water
delivery is highly variable. Water is made available to our society on a consistent and …

Sedimentation in reservoirs constitutes a major issue worldwide, especially when
hydropower, and hence profit, is involved. In this study, the sedimentation rates, due to soil …

Sediment management is an important part of river rehabilitation and management. Global
case studies provide a growing number of examples of successful sediment augmentation …

Riverbeds downstream of dams are starved of sediment, impacting habitat structure and
ecological function. Despite the implementation of sediment management techniques, there …

Over the last two centuries, rivers worldwide have been affected by human interventions,
including dams, river training, and gravel mining. Such actions have often involved river …

High suspended sediment concentrations during reservoir flushing are known to be harmful
to biota in downstream river stretches. Therefore, it is common practice to set legal …

Controlled sediment flushing operations (CSFOs) allow to recover reservoirs storage loss
while rebalancing the sediment flux interrupted by dams but, at the same time, may cause …

This study identifies and characterizes hydromorphological changes along the Rapel River
downstream of the first large dam built in Chile (1968). A hydromorphological analysis is …
