Journal ArticleDOI
Flow variability and the ecology of large rivers
TL;DR: This paper identifies 11 relatively independent measures of hydrological variability that help categorize river types and are each associated with aspects of fish biology that enhance the value of the Flood Pulse Concept for river conservation, management and restoration.
Journal ArticleDOI
A perspective on dryland river ecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-appraised the ecosystem concept for dryland rivers, with regard for flow as an organizing variable, and modelled river processes by combining the river continuum and flood pulse concepts, with refinements to accommodate a complex flood pulse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance of riverine plants to flooding and exposure indicated by water regime
TL;DR: In this article, selected water regime indices are used to describe the tolerances to flooding and exposure of littoral and floodplain plants of the River Murray, South Australia, at 12 sites along a reach where water levels were influenced by weir operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of regulation on the flow regime of the river Murray, Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, a model developed by the Murray-Darling Basin Commission is used to compare simulated natural (unregulated) flows at eight stations with those at seven consecutive stages in the development of regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental effects of flow regulation on the lower river Murray, Australia
Keith F. Walker,Martin Thoms +1 more
TL;DR: In the lower Murray basin, the regime changed with the construction of 10 low-level weirs in 1922-35, supplemented by the effects of dams in upstream areas as mentioned in this paper.
