Development and decommissioning of small dams : analysis of impact and context

Creator:

Kibler, Kelly Maren

Abstract:

Management of small dams may have profound implications for the health and integrity of small rivers and freshwater diversity. Global indicators suggest future growth in the small hydropower sector, particularly in developing countries. As a renewable energy source, it is often presumed that small hydropower entails fewer and less severe...

Dam removals and downstream bar-pool morphology

Creator:

Zunka, John Page Purnell

Abstract:

Bar-pool morphology in rivers can provide vital habitat to aquatic species, notably salmonids, which require gravel riffles to bury eggs and pools for hydraulic and cold-water refuge. In some cases, the erosion and subsequent deposition of coarse sediment downstream of a dam removal can modify habitat by inundating bar-pool structure,...
