Short summary
This work evaluated the impact of irrigation downstream of reservoirs in agricultural basins It was found that the impact of irrigation due to return flows is not homogeneous across the stream and varies between seasons Results indicates that although the effect of the dam construction is the reduction of the flow in the channel, this can be partially reversed under certain conditions: particularly during the dry season and in sections with significant accumulation of irrigation return flows
