Humans can alter or even destroy freshwater ecosystems through the construction of hydroelectric dams or irrigation projects. Dams create reservoirs of water while artificially limiting the flow of water downstream of the project, which can significantly change the ecosystem on both sides of the construc...
People also actively shaped California’s MED ecosystems during the Holocene and may have had buffering mechanisms (e.g., mobility) for climatic downturns (see Gamble, 2005). Anthropogenic environmental alterations include anthropogenic burning, translocation of plants and animals, and influence on a ...
while freshwater aquatic plants were also ingested in the Bronze Age, and Early Middle Ages. Over 70% of the samples where biomolecular evidence survived had evidence for ingestion of red, green or brown seaweeds, or freshwater
Although human freshwater appropriation now equals half of global river discharge, only 15% of the water cycle diagrams depicted human interaction with water. Only 2% of the diagrams showed climate change or water pollution—two of the central causes of the global water crisis—which effectively ...
Quantifying the human impact on water resources: a critical review of the water footprint concept The water footprint is a consumption-based indicator of water use, referring to the total volume of freshwater used directly and indirectly by a nation or ... J Chenoweth,M Hadjikakou,C Zoumides...

To help address this, we combined high resolution, annual data on the intensity of 14 human stressors and their impact on 21 marine ecosystems over 11 years (2003–2013) to assess pace of change in cumulative impacts on global oceans, where and how much that pace differs across the ocean,...
