ecological flow

Ecological flow refers to the natural movement of water through ecosystems, such as rivers and wetlands, which supports the health of plants, animals, and overall biodiversity. It's essential for maintaining habitats, ensuring that organisms have access to water for drinking and breeding, and for transporting nutrients. When water flow is disrupted by human activities, like dam construction or excessive extraction, it can harm ecosystems, leading to negative effects on species and overall environmental health. Protecting and managing ecological flow is vital for sustaining both nature and the services it provides to humans.
