Tertiary wastewater treatment combined with high dilution rates fails to eliminate impacts on receiving stream invertebrate assemblages
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
he amount of wastewater processed in treatment plants is increasing following more strict environmental regulations. Treatment facilities are implementing upgrades to abate the concentrations of nutrients and contaminants ...
The drawdown phase of dam decommissioning is a hot moment of gaseous carbon emissions from a temperate reservoir
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Dam decommissioning (DD) is a viable management option for thousands of ageing dams. Reservoirs are large carbon sinks, and reservoir drawdown results in important carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions. We studied ...
Slow drawdown, fast recovery: Stream macroinvertebrate communities improve quickly after large dam decommissioning
(Wiley, 2024-06)
Dam removal is increasingly considered as a river restoration tool for impoundments that harm the environment or have exceeded their lifespan. However, few studies report the ecological consequences of large dam removal.

Short-term effects of a large dam decommissioning on biofilm structure and functioning
(Wiley, 2023-01)
Aging dams and the rising efforts to restore stream ecosystems are increasing the number of dam decommissioning programs. Although dam decommissioning aims at improving in-stream habitat, biodiversity, and ecosystem ...
