<div id="h3-10-siblings" class="h3-siblings"></div>

Water managers often utilize a variety of hydrological drought indices and hydrological models to characterize water resources, low flow conditions and the potential for irrigation ( [[#Wanders--2015|Wanders and Wada, 2015]] ; [[#Mukherjee--2018|Mukherjee et al., 2018]] ). Low flow volume and intermittency thresholds can indicate reductions in dissolved oxygen, more concentrated pollutants, and higher stream temperatures relevant for ecosystems, water resource quality and thermal power plant cooling ( [[#Feeley--2008|Feeley et al., 2008]] ; [[#Döll--2012|Döll and Schmied, 2012]] ; [[#Schaeffer--2012|Schaeffer et al., 2012]] ; [[#Prudhomme--2014|Prudhomme et al., 2014]] ; [[#van%20Vliet--2016|van Vliet et al., 2016]] ). Low water levels may also restrict waterway navigation for commerce and recreation ( [[#Forzieri--2018|Forzieri et al., 2018]] ).
