             abstract = "Run-of-river dams are often considered to have lower environmental 
                         impacts than storage dams due to their smaller reservoirs and low 
                         potential for fow alteration. However, this has been questioned 
                         for projects recently built on large rivers around the world. Two 
                         of the worlds largest run-of-river damsSanto Ant{\^o}nio and 
                         Jirauwere recently constructed on the Madeira River, a major 
                         tributary to the Amazon River in Brazil. Here we evaluate the 
                         efects of the creation of the Santo Ant{\^o}nio dam on the water 
                         chemistry and thermal structure of the Madeira River mainstem and 
                         back-fooded valleys of tributaries within the reservoir inundated 
                         area. In contrast to the mainstem river, some back-fooded 
                         tributaries periodically developed thermal stratifcation, which is 
                         associated with higher water residence times. Additionally, 
                         biochemical oxygen demand, partial pressure of CO2, and organic 
                         carbon all increased in the tributary valleys inundated by the 
                         reservoir, possibly due to increased input of allochthonous 
                         organic matter and its subsequent mineralization upon 
                         back-foodinga common feature of newly fooded impoundments. The 
                         mainstem did not show detectable dam-related changes in water 
                         chemistry and thermal structure. Although the majority of the 
                         reservoir area maintained riverine conditions, the lateral valleys 
                         formed upon back-foodingcorresponding to ~30% of the Santo 
                         Ant{\^o}nio reservoir areadeveloped lake-like conditions akin to 
                         a typical reservoir of a storage dam.",
