摘要: AbstractThe lower course of the Acheloos River is an important hydrosystem in Greece, heavily modified by a cascade four hydropower dams upstream, which now being extended two more upper course. The design and facilities that are operation has not considered any environmental criteria. However, last 50 years, numerous methodologies have been proposed to assess negative impacts such projects both abiotic biotic environment, provide decision support towards establishing appropriate constraints on their operation, typically terms minimum flow requirements. In this study, seeking environmentally-friendly hydrosystem, we investigate outflow policy from most downstream dam, examining alternative approaches. Accounting for data limitations, recommend basic method, parsimonious suitable Mediterranean rivers, whose flows exhibit strong variability acro...
