		Conservation benefits for the leasing and ownership of submerged lands include opportunities to restore ecologically and economically important species, protect diversity in sanctuaries, buy land cheaply, develop ecologically sustainable harvest practices, improve water quality, create control areas for research, and partake in local management forums as a direct stakeholder.
		We offer a framework for developing an ecologically sustainable water management program, in which human needs for water are met by storing and diverting water in a manner that can sustain or restore the ecological integrity of affected river ecosystems.
		Drawing from case studies around the world to illustrate our framework, we suggest that ecologically sustainable water management is attainable in the vast majority of the world's river basins.

	James R. Karr
		I am particularly interested in fostering use of ecological knowledge to resolve complex natural resource and environmental disputes.
		My research in recent years has concentrated on the ecology of fish and invertebrate in streams, on plants and invertebrates in shrub steppe, and the demography of tropical forest birds.
		I evaluate the influence of human-induced disturbances on biological systems using the index of biotic integrity (IBI) as a biologically based approach to evaluate the condition of living systems.

	James Kay: Short Bio
		His research activities span the full spectrum from the theoretical and epistemological basis for an ecosystem approach, to the formulation of ecosystem based environmental policy, the development of ecosystem monitoring programs, to on the ground ecosystem planning both in the context of urban, industrial, and natural ecosystems and the greening of institutions.
		He prepared for the Canadian Environmental Advisory Council, a commissioned background paper The Concept of "Ecological Integrity", Alternative Theories of Ecology, and Implications for Decision-Support Indicators.
		He has worked extensively on the development of a framework and measures for evaluating ecosystem integrity.
