Benthos habitat quality, fish habitat quality
Usually reaches up to 1 km
Near bottom flow force statistical from FST-hemisphere measurements,Local depth averaged flow velocities from 1-D model (HEC) followed by rule based adaptation or any external 2-D model (interfaces available)
Benthos: noneFish: Substratum, local depth, cover, pool types
none
Benthic species: FST-hemisphere based univariate Preference curvesFish: Fuzzy rules or combinations of univariate preference curves
Habitat quality maps, weighted usable areas, hydraulic suitability indizes, Time series
None (only independent single species habitats)
Numerous projects related to Instream Flow, River Restoration, Hydropeaking
Predicted habitat quality vs. fish findings
