Abstract

This short review extensively synthesizes information available in the long-term hydrologic changes experienced by the Apalachicola River in Florida, throughout its reach. Hydrologic changes in this river were induced by human interference along the river reach. The changes mostly include spatiotemporal alterations in the water levels and discharge regimes of the river. These changes have specifically reduced variability in its stages and flow regimes at several locations along its reach. The reduced variability of these important hydrological components could impact the adjoining floodplain ecosystem negatively. Therefore, ongoing river restoration efforts should focus on mimicking the natural historical hydrology in the river
