Environmental Flows: Managing The Natural Variability Of Rivers

The health of river ecosystems is essential to all living beings – they provide various ecosystem services that are fundamental to our wellbeing.

#DYK what makes up a healthy river?

Environmental flow is one of the keys to sustaining healthy river ecosystems. The e-flow concept originated in an effort to secure the minimum flow required to conserve certain species. But, scientists began to realise that biological and social systems are way too complex to be reduced into a single minimum flow. Soon they began thinking beyond the minimum, interrogating how the rise and fall of river levels impact the ecosystem and the benefits provided by rivers.

Stay tuned for our upcoming webinar on 24 February to learn more about e-flow.
