Impacts of streamflow alteration on benthic macroinvertebrates by mini-hydro diversion in Sri Lanka

Abstract Our study focused on quantifying the alterations of streamflow at a weir site due to the construction of a mini-hydropower plant in the Gurugoda Oya (Sri Lanka), and evaluating the spatial responses of benthic macroinvertebrates to altered flow regime. The HEC–HMS 3.5 model was applied to t...
