| Impact Type | Water Quality |
| Study Type | Anecdotal |
| Study Location | N/A |
| Impact Description | Arundo donax dominated riverine areas have warmer water temperatures that typically result in lower oxygen concentrations and lower diversity of aquatic animals. Other potential effects include increased pH in shallower sections of river because of higher algal photosynthetic activity. The higher pH facilitates conversion of ammonium to ammonia causing further water quality problems. |
