| dc.description.abstract | Stream flow regimes are considered the main driving force of their
ecosystem.1
The stability of river ecosystems is largely dependent on
the natural dynamic change characteristics of river flow.2
The water
resources management has led to a change in the natural flow of
rivers around the world3
that affects water quality, energy sources,
physical habitat, and biotic interactions.4
To conserve water, many
dams have been built along waterways and regulate the flow of
a river. This regulation by dams modifies the natural flow mode of
the rivers. This characterization of natural regime can be done by
a number of hydrological indices and methods taking into account
not only hydrological parameters but also ecological parameters. | en_US |
