The River Torrens has undergone modifications to reduce its meandering shape, affecting its flow dynamics and surrounding ecosystems. These changes can influence the local water cycle, including alterations in evaporation rates, infiltration, and groundwater recharge. By straightening the river, water may flow more rapidly, reducing the time it spends in certain areas, which can lead to decreased habitat quality for aquatic life and altered precipitation patterns in the surrounding environment.
