Introduction: There is an increasing awareness in the effects for river ecosystems of dam-induced changes in the flow
regime of rivers. Hydrological alterations caused by regulation affect the structure, composition, diversity and
functioning of aquatic and riparian communities (e.g. fish, macroinvertebrates, vegetation) and alters the physical
components of fluvial systems (geomorphology, bank stability, substrate). However, few studies have documented the
hydrological alterations to the natural flow regime induced by dams in Portugal. Climate of mainland Portugal is mostly
Mediterranean, with around 80% of the surface runoff occurring during the wet semester (from October to March).
Besides the water scarcity in summer, there is a marked inter-annual variability of flow regime, which affects the
efficient use of river runoff. Regulation has in the country multiple purposes, being the most important the hydropower
production, the urban and industrial uses, and irrigation, though flood control may also be envisaged. This study aims to
characterize the changes in flow regime caused by regulation in different case studies.
Methods: By the middle nineties, the development of a framework procedure – the Indicators of Hydrologic
Alterations, IHA [2] - allow quantifying the magnitude of alterations and increment the research on the alterations
induced by dam regulation. IHA are numerical indicators that summarize the main characteristics of the hydrologic
regime, thus allowing the comparison between natural and regulated conditions either within a given river or among
different rivers. In the present study, we selected nine case studies (rivers), which have regular temporal series of daily
hydrological data upstream (inflows) and downstream the dams (outflows). The inflows can be considered as
representing the pre-dam river flow regime (natural flows). The case studies were rivers impacted by dams used mainly
for hydropower production. The IHA were computed and their values compared within and among rivers. Five groups
of IHA parameters were considered, namely related to: (i) the magnitude of monthly flows, (ii) the magnitude and
duration of annual extreme water conditions, (iii) the timing of annual extreme water conditions, (iv) the frequency and
duration of high and low pulses, and (v) the rate of change of the flow regime.
Results and Discussion: We observed differences in the magnitude and type of IHA parameters between two groups of
dams: the run-off-river dams (with reservoirs with little or none storage capacity) and those having reservoirs for water
storage and diversion. Flow duration curves were also different between these two groups. As expected, run-off river
impoundments had consistently smaller hydrologic alterations than the other type of impoundments in most of IHA
parameters.
Conclusions: The hydrographs, the mean annual flow duration curves and the IHA parameters allowed perceiving
differences between rivers with different types of hydropower plants.
Keywords: regulation, dams, indicators of hydrologic alteration, flow duration curves.
