Abstract/Summary

The hydrological characteristics of a river exert critical controls on aquatic ecosystems. A river’s flow regime (characterised by variability, magnitude, frequency, duration, timing and rate of change of discharge) is central to sustaining aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. All elements of this regime influence some aspect of riverine ecosystems. Changes in river discharge due to climate change or water resources management have the potential for ecological impacts. The science of environmental flows has developed in order to determine flow regimes necessary to maintain economically, socially and ecologically important ecosystem services.
