River Ecology
Macrozoobenthos habitat modelling in 2D
Biological monitoring
We apply standard biological protocols (e.g. Swiss IBCH, Ecomorphology module).
Habitat modelling
We combine our hydraulic models to species preferences to predict habitat quality under various scenarios.
Applications
- Design of environmental floods downstream of hydropower plants.
- Modelling of stream habitat for the planning of engineering and restoration projects.
- Monitoring of stream habitat after completion of engineering and restoration projects.
