This report addresses study area delineation and site selection for the Pangani Environmental Flow Assessment work. The task was accomplished by first separately delineating relatively homogeneous zones and sub-zones along the river and estuary, and for socio-economic activities in the basin.
An environmental flow is the water regime provided within a river, wetland or coastal zone to maintain ecosystems and their benefits where there are competing water uses and where flows are regulated.
Esta publicación ofrece una vision general sobre los recursos hídricos compartidos a nivel mundial y una orientación sobre la gestión de estos recursos en forma cooperativa.
Value is a practical guide that explains the most important steps and techniques for the valuation of ecosystem services, and the incorporation of its results in decision making.
This report forms part of the Pangani River Basin Flow Assessment Initiative. It is based on a health assessment of the river during the wet and dry seasons, together with existing Pangani Basin Water Board water-quality data collected at key points along the river.
