The environmental demand node can be set up as an in-stream requirement. In such a scenario, where the node acts as a minimum flow requirement node. Figure 1 shows an example where the environmental demand acts as an This ensures that there is sufficient flow to meet environmental demands further downstream. In the example shown in Figure 1, the In-stream environmental requirement node ensures that there is adequate flow to fulfill the orders, ultimately, of Water user 9 and Irrigator.
