EcosystemServiceTradeoffAnalysistoSupportDecisionMakingintheTonleSapBasin

Project: The Tonle Sap is critically important to Cambodia and the larger region because the system plays a direct role by •  Securing food and supporting livelihood strategies’ •  Generating income •  Maintaining high biodiversity and unique species •  Providing flood protection The Mekong Basin is in experiencing rapid changes in its human population, economies, and environmental character. Nowhere are these changes more apparent or important than in the area of Tonle Sap Lake. - As a result of decisions made within and outside the lake system, the Tonle Sap sits at an important crossroads. Alternative decisions about responding to change will have consequences on human wellbeing, natural resource flows, and protection of the biological and cultural heritage of the Lake

Freshwater Health Index

FRESHWATER HEALTH INDEX


The Need

© © JESSICA SCRANTON

• Eighty percent of the global population faces water insecurity

• Biophysical and social aspects are evaluated separately

• Decisions are made in isolation, so trade-offs between ecosystem services are not explicit

• Ecosystem health rarely considered in assessing sustainability of freshwater systems

© CI / TORY READ


Focus on “freshwater health” as the ability to deliver water-related ecosystem services sustainably and equitably Maintenance of ecosystems central to freshwater health Requires responsive governance and collective action of stakeholders

Assess status and trends of freshwater health

Apply indicators within a basin to guide management and policies

Evaluate tradeoffs and synergies for future scenarios Provide a global assessment of

freshwater health

Objectives

Developing a set of indicators to measure freshwater health Application and testing in three basins: Dong Jiang; Sesan, Sreypok and Sekong; Tonle Sap Further application in other basins
