A shared resource at risk
Domestic Agriculture
IndustryEcology
• Millions without drinking water and sanitation
• 80% urban sewage untreated • Demand to grow by 40% by 2025
• Largest water consumer; highest water footprint
• Demand to grow by 10% ~ 675 cubic km by 2025
• Sector with highest demand growth
• Expected demand to be ~ 92 cubic km by 2025
• No dedicated allocations for ecology
• Threatened habitats, declining aquatic biodiversity
Priority users

Multi disciplinary, multi stakeholder approach
• Growing competition for water
• Individual action focused
• Collective ownership, vision for the basin yet to be mainstreamed
• Spaces for conversations are opening up, but limited
• Spaces for collective action limited
• No realisation of the Shared risk

Integrating E-flows into basin plans
Draft National Water Framework Bill 2016: • Calls for integrated river basin development and management• Environmental flows adequate to preserve and protect a river basin as a hydrological and ecological system shall be maintained.
Temporal and spatial variations in quantity and quality of water required for freshwater and estuarine systems to perform their natural ecological functions (including material transport) and supports the spiritual, cultural and livelihood activities that depend on them (IITC 2012)

Key issues
• What are the costs, benefits and trade-offs of using environmental flows for riverine ecosystem rejuvenation?
• What strategies (investments, policies…) need to be adopted to manage the trade-offs and to implement environmental flows?

Environmental flows assessment Supply and demand assessment
1. Identify key river assets
2. Determine flow requirements for the assets
3. Identify options to meet e- flow requirements Scenario
analysis
3. Identify development and allocation options for meeting supply requirements
Trade offs between supply and e-flow options
Water Resources Allocation Plan
1. Identify available water resources and development opportunities
2. Identify consumptive water requirements

Key lessons• E-flows are central to water planning and allocation
process
• EFA is an evolving science. Capacity building on E-Flows at different levels needed
• Need to collaborate on documenting the cost-benefits, trade-offs and demonstrating E-flows
• Framework to integrate E-flows and trade-off management in basin management plans
