Tackling reservoir siltation by controlled sediment flushing: Impact on downstream fauna and related management issues

Sediment flushing can tackle reservoirs siltation and improve sediment flux through dammed rivers. However, the increase of the sediment loading below the dam can trigger a suite of undesired ecological effects in the downstream river reaches. To limit these drawbacks, sediment flushing can be contr...
