Possible restoration, rehabilitation and mitigation measures
- Reduce surface water abstraction with return
- Increase minimum flows
- Water diversion and transfer
- Recycle used water
- Reduce water consumption
- Ensure minimum flows
- Establish environmental flows / naturalise flow regimes
- Reduce anthropogenic flow peaks
- Favour morphogenic flows
- Create low flow channels in over-sized channels
