This document summarizes an event discussing multiple uses of water resources. The event addressed how multiple water use is addressed in different basins, the limitations, and how frameworks like Multiple Use Systems, Integrated Water Resources Management, and Ecosystem Services Framework can help. Participants were asked to discuss the main issues with multiple water use from their perspective, opportunities, innovations, and key messages, as well as how a Multiple Use Topic Working Group could support work in this area.
