Compounding Effects of Agricultural Land Use and Water Use in Free-Flowing Rivers: Confounding Issues for Environmental Flows
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Environmental Management"
DOI: 10.1007/s00267-017-0836-1
Abstract: Defining the ecological impacts of water extraction from free-flowing river systems in altered landscapes is challenging as multiple stressors (e.g., flow regime alteration, increased sedimentation) may have simultaneous effects and attributing causality is problematic. This… read more here.
