The Narmada is the largest west-flowing peninsular river ranks seventh in terms of water discharge (38km3 /yr) in India. A number of dams have been constructed on the Narmada River and its tributaries, mainly for the purpose of electric power generation, irrigation and for controlling floods. The objective of this paper is to calculate minimum flow of Narmada River which is necessary to protect ecosystem and biodiversity at downstream site of dam which is constructed across Narmada River and its tributaries.
