A second sub-theme refers to drainage waters, as return flow and the potential contribution to Environmental Flow Requirements, EFR. This Workshop will bring together experts from all over the world to discuss their experience with using different types of poor quality water and how these should be managed to minimise environmental impacts and promote sustainable practices. The state-of-the-art, and experiences on Requirement for Environmental Flow assessment, interactions with irrigation, impacts of REF implementation will be discussed. A multidisciplinary perspective with many dimensions of the interactions between irrigation, REF and other uses will be debated.
