Proper water resource management is essential for maintaining a sustainable supply chain and meeting water demand. The urgent necessity to preserve river ecosystems by sustaining environmental flow (EF), in realm of environmental management, has been highlighted by the drastic changes to river ecosystems and upstream flow dynamics brought about by careless river exploitation in the last few decades. In order to optimize EF in river basin management, this study presents an integrated modeling approach. The case study focuses on the Pir Khezran River basin. The objective is to estimate EF and generalize the findings to adjacent rivers using modeling techniques, thus providing valuable insights for environmental management applications. The assessment and optimization of EF under uncertain conditions is achieved by combining physical habitat simulation (PHABSIM) modeling with advanced techniques like Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks. This integrated modeling approach contributes to sustainable solutions for river basin management and environmental conservation by effectively optimizing EF, as demonstrated by the result. This research, therefore, makes valuable contributions to environmental management in various areas such as ecological preservation, modeling and optimizing environmental systems, and policy considerations..
