The rituals of riparian communities are frequently linked to the flow regimes of their river. These dependencies need to be identified, quantified and communicated to policy makers who manage river flows. This paper describes the first attempt to explicitly evaluate the flows required to maintain the cultural and spiritual activities in the upper Ganga River basin. Riparian dwellers and visitors were interviewed and the responses analyzed to obtain an overview of the needs and motivations for cultural flows. The approach enhances the overall concept of environmental flow assessment, especially in river basins where spiritual values ascribed to rivers are high.

River flows connect people, places, and other forms of life, inspiring and sustaining diverse cultural beliefs, values, and ways of life. The concept of environmental flows provides a framework for improving understanding of relationships between river flows and people, and for supporting those that are mutually beneficial. Nevertheless, most approaches to determining environmental flows remain grounded in the biophysical sciences. The newly revised Brisbane Declaration and Global Action Agenda on Environmental Flows (2018) represents a new phase in environmental flow science and an opportunity to better consider the co-constitution of river flows, ecosystems, and society, and to more explicitly incorporate these relationships into river management. We synthesize understanding of relationships between people and rivers as conceived under the renewed definition of environmental flows. We present case studies from Honduras, India, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia that illustrate multidisciplinary, collaborative efforts where recognizing and meeting diverse flow needs of human populations was central to establishing environmental flow recommendations. We also review a small body of literature to highlight examples of the diversity and interdependencies of human-flow relationships—such as the linkages between river flow and human well-being, spiritual needs, cultural identity, and sense of place—that are typically overlooked when environmental flows are assessed and negotiated. Finally, we call for scientists and water managers to recognize the diversity of ways of knowing, relating to, and utilizing rivers, and to place this recognition at the center of future environmental flow assessments.

This article examines the global history of a rights-based approach to nature and then focuses in on whether conferring legal rights on the River Ganga (Ganges) in India would help in its management or on the contrary produce a conflict between human rights and the right of nature. Finally, it considers the legal perils of articulating a universal right of a river by comparing the Ganga and Whanganui cases.

While it is widely accepted that the magnitude of river water quality degradation depends upon the proportion of human interventions, the overall changes are ultimately the consequence of interconnected biogeochemical processes with poorly understood role of ecosystem feedbacks. Here, we conducted in situ and incubation experiments, considering a 620 km Ganga River main stem, two tributaries and two point source downstream locations for trajectory studies to analyze the human-driven changes in ecosystem feedback associated changes in ecosystem functioning of the Ganga River and its tributaries. The main stem coupled trajectory analyses show that benthic hypoxia/anoxia resulting from intensive human releases generates positive feedbacks (sediment-P and –metal release) to exacerbate the degradation of ecosystem functioning in the Ganga River and tributaries. We found 1.9 to 4.6 times higher rates of sediment-P release and about 1.1 to 3.7 times higher rates of sediment-metal releases at sites with DOsw < 2.0 mg/L. Excess release of phosphorus from sediment enhanced the eutrophy whereas sediment-metal release and bioavailability led to a sharp decline in microbial biomass and FDAase activity. The Carlson’s index, ecological response index, Dodds’s trophic state classification, and risk index support these results because the sites with benthic hypoxic/anoxic condition did show trophic state in eutrophic to hypereutrophic range and metal pollution in very high to extremely polluted and high risk category indicating significant effect of these drivers. The study, for the first time, showed that positive feedbacks exacerbate the degradation of ecosystem functioning in human-impacted large rivers. We suggest the need for increased efforts considering the magnitude and connectivity of positive feedbacks and associated repercussions for improving mechanistic understanding of their contributions to overall structural and functional shifts in the large rivers.
