| Resource Purpose |
This document is intended to serve as an input for a scientific review process at a national level and to provide background information on i) conflicting terminology used in the environmental flows literature, ii) environmental flow assessment methodological approaches and iii) current status of environmental flow guidelines used in different jurisdictions in Canada. The information contained in this document was critically discussed by an assembled group of experts who will provide further scientific advice on environmental flow regimes for the Canadian context in a separate document. |
