An outstanding review of our paper. Thank you, LeRoy Poff! A river that flows free connects up in 4D nature.com/articles/d4158… rdcu.be/bATa9 @LeroyPoff @Global_Hydrolab

Great open-access publication highlighting the effects of fragmentation on migratory fish in Europe. Only two large rivers considered "free-flowing" in Europe doi.org/10.1002/rra.33… @bart_geenen @MicheleThieme @Global_HydroLAB

Have we reached the end of an era of big dams? The rise of wind and solar power, coupled w/ the increasing social, enviro & financial costs of hydro projects, has left some experts speculating that the industry has reached “peak dams." @jacqules reports: e360.yale.edu/features/after…

Unintended consequences of dams, reservoirs worsen water shortages, study finds upi.com/6854469t via @upi / nature.com/articles/s4189…

"Reservoir- and dam-based hydroelectricity may not be an efficient energy resource—at least from the American perspective, and perhaps it is timely to consider promoting other non-conventional renewable resources for energy production." doi.org/10.1016/j.rser…

Contaminant "fate" models simulate the exposure of difficult-to-measure emerging pollutants in our river systems. We studied sources and pathways of hormones in China's and found that up to 25% of rivers exceed concentration limits for river species. authors.elsevier.com/a/1XihI9pi-IH4H

The European Union, which had originally supported hydropower projects in the name of zero-carbon energy, is now urging governments in southeastern Europe to back out of them. e360.yale.edu/features/a-bal…
