regimes. A statistical analysis reveals that migration rates primarily decreased with decreasing flow energy. The addition of a second parameter describing total channel width increased the explained variance to >60%. The findings show that lateral
of hydrologic shifts because of impoundment. To assess hydrologic changes associated with dams, the AA. applied a hydrologic model, the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA), supplemented with orientation statistics for certain hydrograph parameters
