Abstract
The concept of transferring water from one river basin to another has evolved over centuries as a useful means of meeting water demands. However, such projects have the potential for serious ecological impacts, including introduction of nonindigenous organisms, changes in water quality and hydrologic regimes, and alteration of habitat. Although limited progress has been made in the last 20 years regarding our understanding of site-specific ecological consequences of inter-basin water transfer, research to date is inadequate for assessment of water transfer impacts. It is imperative that we develop coordinated research methodologies to be incorporated into the planning and evaluation of inter-basin water transfer projects.
