Abstract(s)
Strong water demand for irrigation, energy and drinking water production is responsible
for an increasingly regulation of freshwater flow patterns and watersheds. In this context,
the construction of dams allows water storage but seriously restricts freshwater flow
downstream. Due to scarcity of freshwater resources, reservoir water management often
promotes high hydraulic residence. This may cause strong impacts on biological
components of aquatic ecosystems, influencing the development of cyanobacteria blooms
and aggravating their harmful impacts.
