Dear list members,
We in South Africa would be very grateful for any information
regarding the methodologies (if they exist or being developed) for
estimation of freshwater requirements of the estuaries. In SA a lot
of attention is currently paid to the estimation of the Reserve
which may be briefly defined as the quantity and quality of water
required to satisfy the basic human needs and protect aquatic
ecosystems. The attempts are made to develop transparent methods of
Reserve estimation for various water bodies (rivers, estuaries, lakes
etc). It would be nteresting to know if similar work is being done
anywhere else. Estuaries are of particular interest at present.
Reports, papers and web sites will all do.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Vladimir Smakhtin
