This figure shows connectivity of rivers in EEA-39 as defined in "Mapping the world’s free-flowing rivers" (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1111-9). Dams and reservoirs and their up- and downstream propagation of fragmentation and flow regulation are the leading contributors to the loss of river connectivity.
