Free-flowing Rivers of the World
Grill et al. (2019). River connectivity status for 12 million km of rivers.
HydroRIVERS reaches scored by a connectivity status index that combines fragmentation by dams, flow regulation, sediment trapping, water consumption, road construction and urban areas. Reaches are marked free-flowing, good connectivity or impacted.
