This book explores how flow attenuation due to dams influences the hydrogeomorphic dynamics of wetlands and their ecohydrological transformation. The International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) (2021) reported that around 58,700 large dams and thousands of smaller dams have been built worldwide, regulating river flows and causing significant geomorphological and hydroecological changes in downstream river reaches and riparian floodplain wetlands. Wetlands, which cover about 6-8% of the earth's surface, are important ecotonal ecosystems that harbor 40% of global biodiversity. Various factors contribute to the degradation and loss of wetlands, with damming. In rain-fed floodplains, river flow attenuation often disrupts the lateral connectivity between rivers and wetlands, leading to hydro-ecological changes that affect both the wetlands and the well-being of the communities that depend on them. However, these vital ecosystems are changing at an alarming rate, increasing the vulnerability of dependent ecosystems and societies. Numerous research articles have highlighted the various impacts of damming on wetlands. Yet, there is a noticeable gap in the comprehensive literature that provides an integrated perspective on eco-hydrological changes and approaches to their restoration in order to mitigate various forms of environmental risks. This book bridges this gap by first introducing the relationship between damming and river flow modifications, including changes in spilling behaviors and interactions with para-fluvial wetlands. It will address the measurement of flow modifications in response to damming a range of variability components (magnitude, duration, timing, etc.) to understand flow modification across different RVA components. Challenges in wetland delineation, particularly in dynamic seasonal floodplain environments, are addressed, with the book proposing strategies for mapping these erratic wetlands and examining key challenges and solution strategies.

本書探討了由於大壩造成的流量減弱如何影響濕地的水文地貌動態及其生態水文轉變。國際大壩委員會（ICOLD）在2021年報告指出，全球已建造約58,700座大型大壩及數千座小型大壩，這些大壩調節了河流流量，並在下游河段及河岸洪泛平原濕地造成了顯著的地貌和水生生態變化。濕地覆蓋了地球表面約6-8%的面積，是重要的生態過渡生態系統，擁有全球40%的生物多樣性。多種因素導致濕地的退化和喪失，其中大壩的建設是主要原因。在雨水灌溉的洪泛平原中，河流流量的減弱常常破壞河流與濕地之間的側向連通性，導致水生生態變化，影響濕地及依賴這些濕地的社區的福祉。然而，這些重要的生態系統正在以驚人的速度變化，增加了依賴這些生態系統和社會的脆弱性。許多研究文章已經強調了大壩對濕地的各種影響。然而，綜合文獻中對於生態水文變化及其修復方法的整體觀點仍然存在明顯的空白。本書填補了這一空白，首先介紹了大壩與河流流量變化之間的關係，包括溢流行為的變化及與旁河濕地的互動。它將探討在大壩影響下流量變化的測量，涵蓋一系列變異組件（幅度、持續時間、時機等），以理解不同RVA組件中的流量變化。書中還將解決濕地劃定中的挑戰，特別是在動態季節性洪泛平原環境中，並提出映射這些不穩定濕地的策略，檢視主要挑戰及解決方案策略。
