River regulation affects both flow regime and water chemistry, but to various degrees. We analyzed the effects of flow and water chemistry on macroinvertebrates and algae. We detected no consistent differences between regulated and unregulated rivers. 5-years flow regime affected macroinvertebrates but not benthic algae. Biota were generally more related to water chemistry than to hydrology.
