Water is an important human resource and water needs grow as populations grow. However, freshwater inflow to the coast is fundamental to the functioning of estuaries. Can we have stable, secure, and sufficient water resources for people and still protect estuarine health? Estuaries are the most productive environments on Earth, and this is in part due to freshwater inflow, which dilutes marine water, and transports nutrients and sediments to the coast. Estuaries are characterized by salinity and nutrient gradients, which are important in regulating many biological processes. As water is diverted for human consumption, it is common for many environmental problems to appear. While many countries have water quality programs, few are dealing with water quantity alterations. The first step is to define marine resources to protect, and the water quality conditions those resources need to thrive. The second step is to determine the flow regimes needed to maintain the desired water quality con | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | Environmental flow; Estuary; Fisheries; Rivers; Water Policy; Water resources | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-5833-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-5832-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-5833-3Series ISSN 2191-5547 Series E-ISSN 2191-5555 | issn_series | 2191-5547 | copyright | The Author(s) 2013 |
