Hydropower infrastructure affects many large rivers worldwide, threatening riverine and coastal ecosystems by fragmenting flow, disturbing landscapes and water retention and altering sedimentation and primary production. This thesis investigated major impacts of hydropower regulation on hydrological and geochemical processes in large boreal rivers. Geochemical river transport, sediment composition and hydrogeochemical functioning of the river-aquifer interface were studied in the regulated Lule River and the unregulated, otherwise similar, Kalix River in Northern Sweden.Regulation halved mean maximum runoff and tripled minimum runoff and winter transport of total organic carbon (TOC), Fe, Si, suspended Mn and P compared with the unregulated...
