Description
Summary:This reply addresses concerns raised by Foufoula‐Georgiou et al. (2016) on Gupta et al. (2015) through additional regression analysis of streamflow and base flow and with description of the water quality conditions in the Minnesota River prior to European settlements in 1850s. Key Points Increased precipitation is the main driver of increased streamflow Agricultural land use and land cover changes had minimal impacts on streamflow Clam harvesting and river pollution likely decimated native mussel population
