QUESTION
Queries regarding water allocations for ecology

I am a BE student. My question is, what are the water requirements for ecology? What kind of water allocations does that require? The National Water Policy, 2002, has placed ecology at the fourth place in the priority order. What does that mean? How is the the policy implemented?

Has any country or state successfully implemented allocation for ecology? If yes, where and how? Looking forward to some valuable inputs.
