A Journey Towards Sustainable Watershed Management: Adaptation of the ELOHA model
Determining the Social Values of the Wolastoq
Where does this fit into the ELOHA framework?
The Ecological Limits of Hydrologic Alteration or ELOHA is a holistic framework that pairs both the ecological and human requirements of rivers to determine environmental flows (quality, quantity and timing), or eflows, and are used to inform management decisions. The framework is spilt into two parts – an ecological process and a social process that come together to in the end to determine what the priorities for the river are in terms of both ecological integrity and social needs and not just what is best ecologically or what is best for water users.
