  abstract = {{M}ethane ({CH}4) and carbon dioxide ({CO}2) concentrations and water-air fluxes were measured in three tropical reservoirs and their respective rivers downstream of the dams. {F}rom reservoirs, {CH}4 and {CO}2 flux were in the range of 3 +/- 2 and 254 +/- 392mmol. m(-2).d(-1), respectively. {R}ivers downstream of dams were significantly enriched in {CH}4 and {CO}2 originating from reservoir hypolimnions. {F}rom rivers, {CH}4 and {CO}2 flux were in the range of 60 +/- 38 and 859 +/- 400 mmol. m(-2).d(-1), respectively. {D}espite their relatively small surfaces, rivers downstream of dams accounted for a significant fraction ( 9 - 33% for {CH}4 and 7 - 25% for {CO}2) of the emissions across the reservoir surfaces classically taken into account for reservoirs. {A} significant fraction of {CH}4 appeared to degas at the vicinity of the dam ( turbines and spillways), although it could not be quantified.},
