The phrase "alteration of flow" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing changes in movement, processes, or systems, such as in engineering, fluid dynamics, or even in discussions about workflow.
Example: "The alteration of flow in the river has significantly impacted the surrounding ecosystem."
Alternatives: "change in flow" or "modification of flow".
The occurrence of hypoxia and anoxia in aquatic environments is increasing, driven by changes in land use and alteration of flow regimes.
Regulation of rivers, and the resulting alteration of flow, threatens ecosystem functions and biodiversity globally (Nilsson and others 2005; Dudgeon and others 2006).
Virginia spiraea is adapted to low-competition, riparian scour-zone habitats (Ogle, 1991), and populations have declined because of habitat loss from anthropogenic alteration of flow regimes (Poff et al., 2007).
Water extraction, the introduction of exotic species, alteration of flow through the construction of dams and reservoirs, channelization, overexploitation and increasing levels of organic and inorganic pollution have added further stresses to freshwater ecosystems (Strayer & Dudgeon, 2010; Vörösmarty et al., 2010).
In the breeding season, the primary threats to this species are alteration of the normal hydrological cycle due to habitat destruction, alteration of stream flow, or water diversions.
Major wetland systems have been significantly affected by alteration of flows by dams and subsequent abstraction upstream around the world.
Briefly, in cultured HUVEC, real microgravity affects the same molecular machinery which senses alterations of flow and generates a prooxidative environment that alters endothelial function and promotes senescence [ 21].
Each middle turbinectomy results in alterations of flow and thermal parameters, such as nasal resistance (NR), velocity, temperature, wall shear stress(WSS) and wall heat transfer(WHT).
In our experiment, the most pronounced alterations of flow (MFI) were observed in the sublingual part during the complete experiment.
Alteration of the flow velocity during deposition and limited gas-flow rate control the growth conditions of the CNTs [ 24].
