Abstract (from AGUPubs): River scientists strive to understand how streamflow regimes vary across space and time because it is fundamental to predicting the impacts of climate change and human activities on riverine ecosystems. Here we tested whether flow periodicity differs between rivers that are regulated or unregulated by large dams, and whether dominant periodicities change over time in response to dam regulation. These questions were addressed by calculating wavelet power at different timescales, ranging from 6 hr to 10 years, across 175 pairs of dam-regulated and unregulated USGS gages with long-term discharge data, spanning the conterminous United States. We then focused on eight focal reservoirs with high-quality...
