National framework for ranking lakes by potential for anthropogenic hydro-alteration

National framework for ranking lakes by potential for anthropogenic hydro-alteration

Lakes face multiple anthropogenic pressures that can substantially alter their hydrology. Dams and land use in the watershed (e.g., irrigated agriculture) can modify lake water regimes beyond natural ranges, and changing climate may exacerbate anthropogenic stresses on lake hydrology. However, we la...
