    Abstract

    Continuous water fl ow is a unique feature of streams and

    distinguishes them from all other ecosystems. The main fl ow

    is always downstream but it varies in time and space and can

    be diffi cult to measure and describe. The interest of hydrologists,

    geologists, biologists and farmers in water fl ow, and

    its physical impact, depends on whether the main focus is on

    the entire stream system, the adjacent fi elds, the individual

    reaches or the habitats of different species. It is important to

    learn how to manage fl ow at all scales, in order to understand

    the ecology of streams and the biology of their inhabitants.
