Stakeholder-enhanced environmental flow assessment: The Rufiji Basin case study in Tanzania
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "River Research and Applications"
DOI: 10.1002/rra.3219
Abstract: Environmental flows are now a standard part of sustainable water management globally but are only rarely implemented. One reason may be insufficient engagement of stakeholders and their priority outcomes in the environmental flow-setting process. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3284
Abstract: Despite the long-term research on the use of hydraulic-hydrodynamic habitat models (HHMs) for predicting the response of aquatic biota to habitat alteration, their practical application in model-based environmental flow assessments (EFAs) has been limited due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3445
Abstract: Robust, objective, and repeatable approaches that define flow thresholds for fish passage across critical natural barriers such as riffles, rapids, and waterfalls are required for determining environmental flow strategies. These approaches also provide an opportunity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3575
Abstract: The science and practice of environmental flows have advanced significantly over the last several decades. Most environmental flow approaches require quantifying the relationships between hydrologic change and biologic response, but this can be challenging to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00267-017-0857-9
Abstract: Environmental flows aim to influence river hydrology to provide appropriate physical conditions for ecological functioning within the restrictions of flow regulation. The hydrologic characteristics of flow events, however, may also lead to unintended morphologic effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00267-017-0955-8
Abstract: This paper evaluates an experimental environmental flow manipulation by modeling the counterfactual case that no environmental flow was applied. This is an alternate approach to evaluating the effect of an environmental flow intervention when a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10652-020-09771-5
Abstract: The quantification of turbulent mixing in nature is predicated by inherent randomness of causal events, and obtaining relevant turbulence statistics requires ensemble averaging of identical realizations that are unachievable in field observations or onerous in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2016.12.015
Abstract: Abstract In arid regions, the construction of dams has led to an increase in irrigated agriculture, resulting in the desiccation of vulnerable lakes and wetlands. In many arid mountainous regions, such as in the Middle… read more here.
