Minimum Streamflow for Habitat?A Case Study. Menikganga River Diversion Project?Sri Lanka

by T. D. Wickramarathna, Central Engineering Consultancy Bur, Colombo, Sri Lanka,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering Hydrology

Abstract:

Determination of minimum streamflows to be left in the stream channel for the sustenance of the downstream habitats becomes a difficult task when quantitative requirements of such habitats are unknown as in the case of a tropical riverine forest habitat. A release pattern that preserves the more deterministic and seasonal features of the streamflow has been adopted in this case study.
