In the LPJmL model, the water needed in other sectors is extracted from local surface waters, if available (rather than from reservoirs). Meeting the demand from these sectors receives priority over water withdrawal for irrigation. | In the LPJmL model, the water needed in other sectors is extracted from local surface waters, if available (rather than from reservoirs).

The current version of IMAGE-LPJmL does not take into account the water needs of ecosystems, or other uses, such as shipping or recreation. However, a new module to calculate environmental flow requirements is under development ([[Pastor et al., 2013]]). By using this module, water withdrawals will be constrained so that a minimal environmental flow is guaranteed, and the module also will be used to identify possible areas of conflict between water users. | The current version of IMAGE-LPJmL does not take into account the water needs of ecosystems, or other uses, such as shipping or recreation.
