Maintaining ecological flows

Description

Maintaining ecological flows involves ensuring that rivers and water systems retain sufficient quantity, timing, and quality of water to sustain ecosystems and human needs. This strategy addresses problems such as habitat degradation, species loss, and water scarcity by implementing regulated water releases, restoring natural flow regimes, and monitoring withdrawals. Its practical intent is to balance ecological integrity with human use, thereby supporting biodiversity, ecosystem services, and long-term water security.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
