The goal of this study is to demonstrate the usefulness of the Lombard method for analyzing dam-induced hydrologic impacts. The method was used to accurately detect the effects of the construction of a diversion dam in 2003 on annual and seasonal maximum and minimum daily flows in the Manouane River, Quebec, Canada, measured from 1980 to 2014. The Lombard method yields results that are nearly identical to results obtained using the monitoring (Kruskal-Wallis test) and long-term trend (Mann-Kendall test) methods. The Lombard method revealed a shift in mean values of annual and seasonal minimum daily flows in 2003, the year the dam was built. This shift is sharp for all four seasons. The dam induced a significant decrease in minimum daily flows in all four seasons. As far as maximum daily flows are concerned, unlike the monitoring method, the Lombard method detected a significant decrease only in the mean values of annual and spring maximum daily flows. This decrease occurred two years prior to the construction of the diversion dam. Instead, this decrease is interpreted to be the result of a significant decrease in spring precipitation after 1997. These hydrological changes are different from those induced by other types of dams in Quebec
