Description
Summary:The search for ecological indicators is at present a relevant task of environmental managers. Since the ecosystem is a complex system it is not easy to find good ecological indicators that can give information on ecosystem integrity. Reservoirs offer a wide range of ecological services for human well-being, from hydroelectricity, water supply, navigation, recreation, tourism and recreation for fisheries and aquaculture (Tundisi and Matsumura Tundisi, 2008). When they stabilise after construction, the buffer capacity of reservoirs and their resistance to perturbation depends upon its ecohydrologicalmechanisms based on diversity and integrity of the watershed reservoir relationship.
