Advancing towards functional environmental flows for temperate floodplain rivers
Daniel S. Hayes,Daniel S. Hayes,Julia M. Brändle,Carina Seliger,Bernhard Zeiringer,Teresa Ferreira,Stefan Schmutz +6 more
TL;DR: The ecological principles presented in the ff-flow approach ensure the protection of floodplain rivers impacted by flow regulation by establishing ecologically relevant environmental flows and guiding flow restoration measures.

Assessing the Establishment and Implementation of Environmental Flows in Spain
TL;DR: A framework to describe and assess the process of design, application, and monitoring of EF at a river basin level is applied to Spain, where significant efforts have been made during the past decade to define and implement EF across the country.

Towards Mechanistic Hydrological Limits: A Literature Synthesis to Improve the Study of Direct Linkages between Sediment Transport and Periphyton Accrual in Gravel-Bed Rivers
Andrew J. Neverman,Andrew J. Neverman,Russell G. Death,Ian C. Fuller,Ranvir Singh,Jon N. Procter +5 more
TL;DR: A case is made for using substrate entrainment and transport thresholds as the target metric for flushing flows to manage excess periphyton accrual and to provide a reference for interdisciplinary research on peripHYton removal by summarising the geomorphic and hydraulic literature on methods for estimating and measuring substrate entraining and transport.

Anthropogenic sediment retention: major global impact from registered river impoundments
Charles J. Vörösmarty,Michel Meybeck,Balázs M. Fekete,Keshav P. Sharma,P. A. Green,James P. M. Syvitski +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and applied a framework for estimating the potential global-scale impact of reservoir construction on riverine sediment transport to the ocean using a digitized river network at 30′ (latitude×longitude) spatial resolution.

Reciprocal interactions and adjustments between fluvial landforms and vegetation dynamics in river corridors: A review of complementary approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed literature review of fluvial geomorphology, riparian plant ecology and hydraulic engineering knowledge, and propose a "fluvial biogeomorphic succession" concept.

Defining environmental river flow requirements ? a review
Mike Acreman,Michael J. Dunbar +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of various methods for defining environmental flows is presented, including look-up tables, desk-top analysis, functional analysis, and hydraulic habitat modelling, with a simple categorisation of the methods into four types.
