- The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) recognises that the sustainable management of the shared Nile Basin water resources requires the establishment of relevant transboundary policy instruments (within the Nile Basin Sustainability Framework (NBSF)). These policy instruments must conform to the existing Environmental and Social Policy. The sustainable use of these socio-ecologically important water resources of the Nile Basin requires the coordinated management of the environmental flows (E-flows) on meaningful spatial scales. Environmental flows describe the quantity, quality and timing of water flows required to sustain freshwater and estuarine ecosystems and the human livelihoods and wellbeing that depend on these ecosystems (Brisbane Declaration, 2007). The NBI does not currently have any general standards and norms for the establishment of E-flows in the Basin. To establish general standards and norms for E-flows in the Nile Basin, NBI has initiated a process to develop a transboundary level strategy document on E- flows. The objective of the strategy document on E-flows is to develop a structured and scientifically based Nile E-flows Framework for establishing E-flow requirements and managing flows in the Basin for transboundary water resources planning purposes.
