The idea for an international symposium on regulated streams was
conceived over an open-faced sandwich at the R&dhus in
Copenhagen when we attended the Congress of the Societas
Internationalis Lim nologiae in summer 1977. Although* we were
aware that various col leagues were working on ecological problems
in reservoir tailwaters, we did not fully comprehend the magnitude
of worldwide stream regu lation nor the extent of interest in the
subject. Such revelations are reflected in the 21 papers included
in this book. The authors have summarized current understanding of
the ecology of regulated streams and attempted to convey the
importance and direction of future scientific investigations in
stream ecosystems altered by upstream impoundments. The First
International Symposium on Regulated Streams was the plenary event
at the 27th annual meeting of the North American Benthological
Society, April 18-20, 1979, in Erie, Pennsylvania. More than 500
colleagues attended. We gratefully acknowledge the support granted
by the National Science Foundation; these funds permitted
intellectual exchange between scientists from eight coun tries on
four continents. We extend personal thanks to Dr. K. W. Stewart,
President of NABS, and the NABS Program Committee, including Drs.
E. C. Masteller, E. R. Brezina, and W. P. Kovalak. These
individuals and other officers and members of the Executive
Committee assisted us with the many details leading to organization
and staging of a scientific forum. Discussions with Dr. John
Cairns, Jr. and Dr. G. Richard Marzolf during the early planning
stage were most helpful.
