Innovations in hydropeaking research.

Antonetti et al. ([6]) simulates the 2D hydro and thermal dynamics in a small braiding flooplain showing the influence of river morphology in shaping the hydro-thermal landscape, hence the habitat conditions, in hydropeaking rivers. The economic value of the South Saskatchewan river to the city of Saskatoon:(iii) value of alternative minimum river water flow. Hydropower represents the largest renewable energy source (Ritchie et al., [38]) with an increasing number of hydropower dams, especially in the Global South (Zarfl et al., [44]). Literature on hydropeaking covers impacts on bio-chemo-physical processes such as the river hydrological and thermal regime, the flora and the fauna of river corridors and their natural habitats, oxygen saturation and river metabolism, and the transport of sediments and contaminants.
