Enthusiasm for and investments in nature-based solutions (NBS) as sustainable strategies climate adaptation infrastructure development is building among governments, the scientific community, engineering practitioners. This particularly true water security water-related risks. In a freshwater context, NBS may provide much-needed “win-wins” society environment that could benefit imperiled biodiversity. Such conservation benefits are urgently needed given ongoing biodiversity crisis, with...
The proliferation of river infrastructure projects has altered aquatic longitudinal connectivity, posing a growing threat to riverine biodiversity and ecosystem processes worldwide. Effective methods quantify loss connectivity across spatiotemporal scales in data-limited landscapes are important understand inform basin-wide conservation development planning. Here we introduce Catchment Area-based Fragmentation Index (CAFI) its derivative, the Area- Rainfall-based (CARFI) as new metrics...
Given the burgeoning dam removal movement and large number of dams approaching obsolescence in United States, cost estimating data tools are needed for prioritization, planning, execution. We used list removed compiled by American Rivers to search publicly available reported costs projects. Total information could include component related project deconstruction, monitoring, several categories mitigation activities. from 455 unique sources 668 States 1965 2020. The removals occurred within...
Abstract Small hydropower projects (SHPs) are promoted as environmentally benign alternatives to larger dams; however, the impacts of SHPs have been poorly studied, especially in tropical developing countries, where their growth is being encouraged. This study assessed two on freshwater fish communities Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot India. Two dammed and one undammed tributary Netravathi River, having similar stream order, elevation, surrounding land‐use types, were identified test...
Dam removals are occurring more frequently with the rising cost of maintaining aging infrastructure, public safety concerns, and growing interest in river restoration. So far, most dam-removals have been unsystematic their approach. Given several thousand dam expected over coming decades, a systematic approach to plan future holds potential for aligning delivering multiple benefits. Despite multi-sector factors driving decision-making, existing prioritization frameworks tend operate within...
ABSTRACT Proactive and transparent decision‐making about the long‐term management of dams, including rehabilitation, retrofit, removal, is critical for successfully managing this aging infrastructure presents an opportunity to weigh many services disservices dams provide. Existing tools support dam removal decisions often constrain decision processes by considering only a limited set user objectives. We identified 18 objectives in literature found that most 41 decision‐support we evaluated...
Abstract Riverine systems and associated fish populations worldwide are threatened by human impacts, especially in tropical countries with emerging economies. In India, community-based sanctuaries a key mechanism for the conservation of freshwater populations, but there few peer-reviewed studies on this subject. Here we integrate over 35 combined years field experience literature synthesis to define classify sanctuaries. We present novel, critical analysis as social–ecological functional...
This dataset [1] quantifies the extent and rate of annual change in surface water area (SWA) across India's rivers basins over a period 30 years spanning 1991 to 2020. data has been derived from Global Surface Water Explorer, which maps historical terrestrial occurrence globally using Landsat satellite image archive since 1984, at spatial resolution m/pixel temporal once month. monthly time-series was used create composites wet-season (October, November, December), dry-season (February,...
