Global Environmental Flows Network
- Global Environmental Flows Network
The idea of the Network emerged in 2005 through the discussions between specialists from IUCN, IWMI, DHI, Delft Hydraulics and SIWI. In June 2006, the representatives of these organizations together with those from The Nature Conservancy (TNC, Washington), Swedish Water House and Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH, UK) met at IUCN HQ in Gland, Switzerland to discuss the logistics of the Seminar at the World Water Week in Stockholm in August, where the idea of the Network was first presented.
The overall goal of the Global Environmental Flows Network (eflownet) is to integrate Environmental Flows (eflows) into standard practices for the management and use of river basins. In order to do so, our goals are to:
- facilitate communication, capacity building and education to expand the recognition and adoption of eflows globally.
- lift the eflows concept out of technocratic and academic circles and make it accessible to managers in river basins, policy makers, NGOs, governmental and international agencies, local communities and the wider public. - bridge the gap between science, policy and implementation by encouraging a broad dialogue on putting eflows into practise
