Four Principles:
1. Flow is a major determinant of physical habitat in streams; which in turn is a major determinant of biotic composition.
2. Aquatic species have evolved life history strategies primarily in direct response to their natural flow regimes.
3. Maintenance of natural patterns of longitudinal and lateral connectivity is essential to the viability of many population of many species.
4. The invasion and success of exotic and introduced species in rivers is facilitated by the alteration of flow regimes.
