Effect of climate change on long-term river geometric variation in Andong Dam watershed, Korea

Because of multifunctional weirs installed as part of large river regulation works in Korea, water quality problems have arisen from environmental changes in tandem with decreased flow rates. However, there has been limited research into the green algae removal effect, water quality improvement in c...
