Urbanization is threatening freshwater species around the world, especially in drier regions where rivers often dry up or are altered. In some cities, effluent is being used to restore flow to these dried-up rivers.

Researchers tracked how aquatic insects and other small organisms developed over two years, comparing areas with restored flow to natural reference sites.
