In
a
new
paper
published
in
Science
of
The
Total
Environment,
researchers
from
a
MARS
team,
led
by Ecohydrology
group
member
Raoul-Marie
Couture, used
a
linked
set
of
process-oriented
models
to
simulate
future
climate,
discharge,
and
water
chemistry
in
the
Otra
River.
It
was
found
that
the
combination
of
predicted
changes
resulted
in
slight
water
quality
improvement
through
the
21st
century,
which
could
promote
restoration
of
fish
communities.
The
results
of
this
study
can
to
used
to
help guide
management
decisions
for
long-term
strategies
in sustaining
key
salmon
habitats.
