The global decline in freshwater biodiversity – and the degraded ecological condition of riverine, wetland, and groundwater-dependent ecosystems – is largely caused by pressures from pollution, habitat degradation, excessive abstraction of surface water and groundwater, the barrier effects of dams, and modified flow regimes. As freshwater ecosystems degrade and species are lost, rivers and estuaries lose productivity; invasive plants and animals flourish; natural resilience weakens; and human communities lose important social, cultural, and economic benefits. The concept of environmental flows (e-flows) has emerged as a scientific resource and policy framework to protect or restore the freshwater regimes that sustain aquatic ecosystems and the ecological services they provide to society. As Bandyopadhyay (2011) so succinctly states, ̳environmental flows are a critical contributor to the health of these ecosystems‘ and the ̳long-term absence of environmental flows puts at risk the very existence of dependent ecosystems, and therefore the lives, livelihood and security of downstream communities and industries‘.
