Environmental flows have scarcely been considered in river water management in Bangladesh.This study attempts to assess the environmental flow requirements in the Halda River, Bangladesh.Thus, the objectives are to estimate the Halda River flow with different return periods/probabilities, which was done using the log-Pearson Type III distribution (LPIII), and to mitigate the environmental problems in the Halda River using the building block method.The LPIII distribution was used to estimate the expected extreme and satisfactory flows for fish habitat at Panchpukuria station and the expected extreme water levels at Panchpukuria, Narayanhat, Telpari and Enayethat stations.It was found that floods are likely to occur at least once in 2.1, 1.02, 1.75 and 1.25 years at Panchpukuria, Narayanhat, Telpari and Enayethat stations, respectively.The results of flow and water quality analyses suggest that environmental flow requirements cannot be achieved in this river throughout the year.The environmental flow requirements and conservation of fish resources can be achieved by implementing the suggestions provided in conjunction with a comprehensive awareness programme, investigations and trade-off analyses being among the suggestions.Key words environmental flow assessment; building block method; flow quantity and quality; log-Pearson Type III distribution Dbits environnementaux requis: valuation pour la rivire Halda, Bangladesh Rsum Les dbits environnementaux n'ont gure t considrs dans la gestion des eaux de rivire au Bangladesh.Cette tude tente d'valuer les dbits environnementaux requis pour la rivire Halda, au Bangladesh.Les objectifs sont d'estimer le dbit de la rivire Halda pour diffrentes priodes de retour, en utilisant la distribution log-Pearson type III (LPIII), et d'attnuer les problmes environnementaux dans la rivire Halda en utilisant la mthode des blocs de construction.La distribution LPIII a t utilise pour estimer les dbits extrmes et satisfaisants attendus pour l'habitat du poisson la station de Panchpukuria, et les niveaux d'eau extrmes aux stations de Panchpukuria, Narayanhat, Telpari et Enayethat.On a constat que des inondations sont susceptibles de se produire au moins une fois toutes les 2,1, 1,02, 1,75 et 1,25 annes aux stations respectives de Panchpukuria, Narayanhat, Telpari et Enayethat.Les rsultats de l'analyse des dbits et de la qualit des eaux suggrent que les dbit environnemental requis ne peuvent pas tre atteints dans cette rivire tout au long de l'anne.Les exigences de dbit environnemental et de conservation des ressources halieutiques peuvent tre raliss en mettant en oeuvre les suggestions fournies, conjointement avec un programme de sensibilisation, d'enqutes et d'analyses de compromis.
