This report attempts to introduce a prototype scoring system for the ecological status of rivers in India and illustrate it through the applications in several major river basins. This system forms part of the desktop environmental flow assessment and is based on a number of indicators reflecting ecological condition and sensitivity of a river. The unique aspect of this study is that it interprets, for the first time, the existing ecological information for Indian rivers in the context of environmental flow assessment. The report targets government departments, research institutions and NGOs which are engaged in environmental flow management and associated policy development, and suggests some subsequent steps in environmental flow work in India.

Water allocation to cities, industries and agriculture is a common part of river basin management. However, allocation of water to the environment is receiving progressively more recognition. The term environmental flows is generally used to refer to a flow regime designed to maintain a river in some agreed ecological condition. This report examines a desktop hydrology-based environmental flow assessment method and it’s applicability in river basin management. The method and its corresponding software package are first described. This is followed by a case study from Volta River Basin, Ghana, where this method was used to calculate environmental flows. The environmental flows calculations are being proposed to be integrated into the water allocation framework, which is being developed under the Glowa Volta Project.
