Environmental Flows Technical Guidance Document

This technical guidance manual was developed to assist Missions and partners in understanding the importance of environmental flow (E-flow) regimes and their benefits to water security and sustainable development outcomes. Recognizing that there is a vast body of literature exploring the environmental dimensions and practical assessments of E-flows, the Sustainable Water Partnership (SWP)  explores and emphasizes the broader community and societal benefits of E-flow regimes. This guidance manual is designed as a complement to the series of guidance documents produced by SWP related to sustainable water management and water security.
