Many streams and rivers have been degraded by loss
of habitat, loss of flow and changes in flow regime. In
streams subjected to habitat simplification, the loss of
habitat may not only reduce diversity under normal
circumstances but may greatly reduce the availability
of refugia. Thus, the resilience of the stream’s biota to
drought may be greatly diminished. In stream restoration,
restoring resistance and resilience to disturbances,
such as drought, is a critical target.
