Effect of Spatially Distributed Small Dams on Flood Frequency: Insights from the Soap Creek Watershed

AbstractDams are ubiquitous in the United States, with more than 87,000 influencing streamflow across the nation. The significant majority of these dams are small and are often ignored in real-time...
