The specific objectives of this report are the following: 1) document the changing understanding of environmental flows, by both water resources practitioners and by environmental experts within the Bank and in borrowing countries; 2) draw lessons from experience in implementing environmental flows by the Bank, other international development organizations with experience in this area, and a small number of developed and developing countries; 3) develop an analytical framework to support more effective integration of environmental flow considerations for informing and guiding: (a) the planning, design, and operations decision making of water resources infrastructure projects; (b) the legal, policy, institutional, and capacity development related to environmental flows; and (c) restoration programs; and 4) provide recommendations for improvements in technical guidance to better incorporate environmental flow considerations into the preparation and implementation of lending operations.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATERACCESS TO WATERAGRICULTURE WATERALLOCATION OF WATERAQUACULTUREAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMAQUATIC ECOSYSTEMSAQUATIC HABITATAQUATIC LIFEAQUIFERAQUIFERSAVAILABILITY OF WATERBASIN MANAGEMENTBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYBOREHOLESCATCHMENTCATCHMENT MANAGEMENTCATCHMENTSCHANNELSCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATIC REGIONSCOASTAL AREASCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMERCIAL FISHERIESCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION OF NATURECOVERINGCUBIC METERSCUT OFFDAM PLANNINGDECISION MAKERSDECISION MAKINGDEMAND FOR WATERDEMAND MANAGEMENTDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDIKESDISCHARGEDRINKING WATERDROUGHTECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMICSELECTRICITY DEMANDENGINEERINGENTITLEMENTSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL FLOWSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVESENVIRONMENTAL RISKEQUITABLE ACCESSEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTIONEROSIONESTUARIESEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONFARMINGFISHFISHERIESFISHINGFLOOD CONTROLFLOOD MANAGEMENTFLOOD PROTECTIONFLOOD REGULATIONFLOODINGFLOODSFLOW CAPACITYFLOW REGIMESFORESTRYFRESHWATERFRESHWATER ECOSYSTEMSFRESHWATER SPECIESGOOD GOVERNANCEGRAZINGGROUND WATERGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER RECHARGEGROUNDWATER RESOURCESHIGH WATERHYDROLOGICAL CYCLEHYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENTHYDROPOWER PROJECTIMPOUNDMENTINTERBASIN TRANSFERINTERBASIN TRANSFERSINTERNATIONAL WATERINVESTMENT PLANNINGIRRIGATIONLAKE BASINSLAKESLAND USELARGE DAMSLEGISLATIONLEVEESLOCAL COMMUNITIESMAJOR WATER RESOURCEMANGROVESMARINE WATERSNATIONAL WATER POLICIESNATIONAL WATER POLICYNATIONAL WATER RESOURCESNATURAL RESOURCESNITROGENNUTRIENT CYCLINGNUTRIENTSPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPRESSUREPRICE OF WATERPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAMSPUMPINGQUALITY OF WATERQUALITY WATERQUANTITIES OF WATERQUANTITY OF WATERRAINFALLRESERVOIRSRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRIPARIANRIPARIAN COUNTRIESRIVER BASINRIVER BASIN MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINSRIVERINE ECOSYSTEMSRIVERSRUNOFFSAFE WATERSALINE INTRUSIONSALINITYSALTWATER INTRUSIONSANITATIONSCARCE WATERSCIENCESSEASEASSECTORAL POLICIESSTAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENTSTORM WATERSTORM WATER RUNOFFSTREAMSSURFACE WATERSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE USESUSTAINABLE WATERTIMBERTOWNTOWNSTRANSPARENCYURBAN AREASURBAN WATERURBAN WATER SUPPLYUSE OF WATERVALVESWASTED WATERWASTEWATERWATER ABSTRACTIONWATER AFFAIRSWATER ALLOCATIONWATER ALLOCATIONSWATER BODIESWATER CYCLEWATER DEPARTMENTWATER ENTITLEMENTSWATER FLOWSWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER MANAGEMENTWATER MANAGERSWATER MARKETSWATER NEEDSWATER PARTNERSHIPWATER POLICYWATER PRESSUREWATER QUALITYWATER RECOVERYWATER REQUIREMENTSWATER RESEARCHWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENTWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCES PLANNINGWATER RIGHTSWATER STORAGEWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLYWATER TABLESWATER USEWATER USERWATER USERSWATER USESWATERCOURSESWATERSHEDWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATERSHEDSWATERWAYSWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7940-0
