Summary

Flow alteration of streams from anthropogenic impacts is ubiquitous worldwide. In this paper, we examine flow alteration in a single watershed, the Wabash River and suggest potential impacts on aquatic assemblages. The Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) software was used to evaluate hydrological variables generated from daily discharge data of 80 USGS gauging stations, during the past several decades. We used the approach of regressions of hydrological variables against time to identify hydrologic change. An average of 6.9 hydrologic variables (of 33 variables) were significantly altered at each station, and stations with larger watersheds had an increased number of altered variables. A principal components (PC) analysis of [...]
