RESIDENTS living near rivers and dams have been urged to be patriotic and stop conducting activities that may destroy the sources so as to protect water flows and species for sustainable development.

The Yellow River Basin is of great significance to China's economic and social development and ecological security. The Yellow River Basin is not only an important ecological barrier but also an important economic zone. In this paper, natural hydrological conditions were taken as a reference, a habitat simulation model of the key sections of the Yellow River was constructed based on the MIKE 21 model, and an ecological water requirement assessment method for river ecological integrity combin...

The Murray River is Australia's longest river, draining the continent's largest exoreic catchment. The river is Australia's most economically valuable, but is highly degraded by water extraction. The Murray River's terminal lakes, Lakes Alexandrina and Albert, formed following the mid-Holocene marine transgression. These lakes are part of one of the most ecologically important wetland ecosystems on the Australian continent and are recognised as internationally significant by ...

Tree rings are ‘nature’s weather stations’ and reveal far more of the Daly River’s history than scientific records can.

Riparian corridors are thought to form hydrological refugia that may buffer species and communities against regional climate changes. In regions facing a warming and drying climate, however, the hydrological regime driving riparian communities is also under threat. We examined recruitment in response to streamflow declines for species inhabiting the riparian zone in southwest Western Australia, testing the extent to which the riparian system has buffered riparian communities from the drying clim...

Power Ministry Wanted to Dilute Rules So Hydro Projects Can Release Even Less Water While a steady flow is required to maintain the health of rivers, the ministry opposed the rules, saying they would cause a loss of revenue.
