Freshwater biodiversity is under great threat across the globe as evidenced by more severe declines relative to other types of ecosystems. Some main stressors responsible for these concerning trends habitat fragmentation, degradation, and loss stemming from anthropogenic activities, including energy production, urbanization, agriculture, resource extraction. Habitat protection restoration both play an integral role in efforts save freshwater associated ecosystem services further decline. In...
Environmental flows (e-flows) aim to mitigate the threat of altered hydrological regimes in river systems and connected waterbodies are an important component integrated strategies address multiple threats freshwater biodiversity. Expanding accelerating implementation e-flows can support conservation help restore biodiversity resilience hydrologically water-stressed rivers ecosystems. While there have been significant developments e-flow science, assessment, societal acceptance, within water...
Almost a decade ago, the Mexican government targeted to establish environmental water reserves (EWR)—a volume of allocated for ecological protection based on Environmental Flow Norm (eflows, NMX-AA-159-SCFI-2012, ratified in 2017)—in strategic low-pressured use and high conservation importance river basins throughout country. To date, 12 EWRs have been declared up 50 years, which encompass 295 ~55% national mean annual runoff (MAR). In this article, we conducted quality evaluation...
Abstract Since the Brisbane Declaration in 2007, implementation of environmental flows public policies has witnessed a steady increase around globe. Environmental water reserves are an annual volume that is designated to remain ecosystem for sustainable management river basins. In Mexico, these determined on basis Mexican Flows Norm and must be established at basin scale through presidential decree 50 years. this manuscript, we present discuss strategy norm developed National Water Reserves...
Hydrological methodologies are the most efficient approaches for environmental flow (eflow) assessments. This paper presents a hydrological methodology determining eflows in rivers with scarce development to promote proactive water allocations that limit alteration and unsustainable use. The analysis includes natural intra-annual inter-annual ranges of variability. Eflows determined based on four low-flow conditions flood regime. main contribution is regime components adjusted four-tiered...
In Mexico, the evaluations of environmental flows are regulated by Mexican Norm NMX-AA-159-SCFI-2012 and they warrant establishment water reserves for environment. Yet, pressure use limits said reserves. This research aimed to evaluate changes through time variables that serve as a basis implementation strategy government. A geographical information system was built with updated variables, desired conservation status analyzed, potential were estimated based on reference values all basins...
The calculation of river flows necessary to maintain the environmental services diverse basins in Mexico has been an element be considered complying with Mexican Norm and allowing adequate administration water resources. Several methods have proposed for this calculation, among which a very simple one is hydrological method that requires data base on runoff determine volume ecosystem functions need. Hydrological methodology by NMX cited above, provides guidelines establishing regime as...
El manejo diverso del agua de los ríos en México ha sido inadecuado por las diferentes actividades antrópicas, asociado a cambios interanuales clima y consecuencia patrón sus escurrimientos, lo que llevado la pérdida ecosistemas. Sin embargo, actualmente existen diversas metodologías para determinar el caudal necesario conservar al medio ambiente dentro ellas están tipo hidrológicas, como aquí se aplica, basa una información caudales comprenden registros décadas país no siempre cuentan. Por...
Environmental flow (eflow) reference values play a key role in environmental water science and practice. In Mexico, eflow assessments are set by norm which the frequency of occurrence is managing factor to integrate inter-annual seasonal variability components into reserves. However, parameters have been used indistinctively between streamflow types. this study, contributions 40 rivers were evaluated based on hydrology, climate, geography. Multivariate conducted standardized contribution...
In Mexico, the evaluations of environmental flows are regulated by Mexican Norm NMX-AA-159-SCFI-2012, and they warrant establishment water reserves for environment. However, pressure or demand use limits said because their implementation is generally conditioned to availability. This research aimed evaluate changes through time variables that serve as a basis strategy government. A geographical information system was built with updated on availability, conservation values, pressures all...
<p>The main objective of this study was the evaluation remote sensing methods that allow for extraction metrics link riparian flow regimes to hydro-periods (duration) and -patterns (extent) wetland systems known be critical importance migratory water fowl shorebirds along Pacific Flyway in Mexico. In we emphasized use freely available easily accessible optical remote-sensing data their processing using free open-source...
Environmental flows (e-flows) science has significantly advanced in the last decades. In Mexico, a standard for e-flow assessments was recently published as regulatory instrument to support water planning and management. However, appropriateness of technical procedure climate change context not been investigated. Do e-flows cope with non-stationary challenge flow regime availability shifts long term? This thesis aimed determine Mexican climate-adaptive reference values people nature. The...
