Syntheses Assignment 10-An Introduction to Environmental FlowsPart I: This week, as part of our continuation of exploring the evolution of ecohydrology we will be reading a commentary by King and Caylor (2011) exploring the extent to which there has been a true merging of ecology and hydrology in the development of ecohydrology. Please take ½ page single space to present and critique the main ideas of this paper.Part II: In our introduction to the concept of environmental flows we will be using two fairly recently published, yet already high profile, papers on the topic. The first one is an overview of the concept by Acreman et al (2014) published in Frontiers. The second one takes examples from rivers in Australia to highlight important indicators for setting environmental flows (Warfe et al. 2014). Using ideas and material presented in these two papers, please provide a contemporary syntheses of important concepts related to environmental flows. Page limit 1.5 pages single spaced.ReferencesKing, E.G. and K.K. Caylor. 2011. Ecohydrology in Practice: strengths, conveniences, and opportunities. EcohydrologyWarfe, D.M. et al. 2014.
