Applicability of Environmental Flow Techniques in Himalayan Hydropower Considering Hydrologic and Energy Perspective: A CASE study of Kali Gandaki River Basin
Environmental flow (e-flow) management is a critical issue in Himalayan river basins, particularly in the context of rapid hydropower development. The prevailing practice of maintaining a uniform, year-round static e-flow release (typically 10% of the minimum monthly flow) is often inadequate to sustain riverine ecolog...
