Short summary
Small farm reservoirs are infrastructures for storing water that farmers can use to irrigate their crops, and thereby secure or enhance food production. These are found in many regions of the world. However, small reservoirs can modify flow regimes as they store water derived or extracted from the stream. In this study, we use a modeling approach to evaluate how flows are influenced by the number, capacity, and distribution along the stream of small reservoirs.
