Efficiency of a macroroughness block ramp in reducing the impact of low-head dams on riverine fish dispersion by Tomanova Sylvie, Courret Dominique, Richard Sylvain, Mercier Olivier, Guillemin Axel, Labedan Mathilde, Sagnes Pierre

“…Here, we used Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) telemetry to monitor during two years the displacement of eleven fish species, on such a macroroughness ramp located on a tributary of the Loire River in France. We (1) evaluated the migration rates of tagged fish species, poorly documented so far; (2) quantified macroroughness ramp attraction and efficiency; and (3) assessed the influence of fish species, fish length and environmental conditions (river discharge and temperature) on these efficiency estimates. …”

Attribution Identification of Runoff Changes Based on the Budyko Elasticity Coefficient Method: A Case Study of the Middle and Upper Reaches of the Jinghe River in the Yellow River... by Xueliang Wang, Haolin Li, Weidong Huang, Lemin Wei, Junfeng Liu, Rensheng Chen

“…The impacts of climate change and human activities on water resources are a complex and integrated process and a key factor for effective water resource management in semi-arid regions, especially in relation to the Jinghe River basin (JRB), a major tributary of the Yellow River basin. The Sen’s slope estimator and the Mann–Kendall test (M–K test) are implemented to examine the spatial and temporal trends of the hydrological factors, while the elasticity coefficient method based on Budyko’s theory of hydrothermal coupling is employed to quantify the degree of runoff response to the various influencing factors, from 1971 to 2020. …”
