Description	The chapter focuses on existing knowledge and new data, as well as hypotheses, on how climate-hydromorphological interactions might alter freshwater ecosystems in future. We include projected changes in climate and land use, and their effects at the catchment, reach and habitat scales. The emphasis is on streams and rivers, although some aspects of lake hydromorphology are also considered. We focus on streams and rivers mainly because more knowledge exists on the smallscale effects of climate change on stream and river hydrology and morphology and ultimately on their biological effects, compared with lakes. Finally, we discuss how climate change might affect attempts to restore stream and river ecosystems.
