Habitat Simulation Technique as a Powerful Tool for Instream Flow Needs Assessment and River Ecosystem Management
Instream flow needs (IFN) assessment studies are performed to provide guidelines for stream water management and to assess the impacts of different water projects such as weirs, dams and stream diversions on the available fish habitat. The physical habitat simulation is one of the IFN assessment methods and also a powerful tool in management of river ecosystem that has not become a common metho...
متن کاملComparison of the environmental flow assessment methods involving case studies of Karaj and Talar Rivers
Environmental flow is explained as the period of time, quantity and the amount of required water for maintaining the water, fresh, the river’s ecosystem, human beings’ welfare and the life depending on the water. The main goal of this paper is to investigate and compare the hydrological methods including Tennant, aquatic flow, Tessman, analysis of the flow duration curve and the flow duration c...
متن کاملAPPLYING INSTREAM FLOW INCREMENTAL METHOD FOR THE SPAWNING HABITAT PROTECTION OF CHINESE STURGEON (Acipenser sinensis)
The Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis, is an anadromous species that spawns in the Yangtze River and Pearl River of China. Its population has declined dramatically since the construction of the Gezhouba Dam (GD) in 1981 and then with the impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) upstream of the GD in 2003. This paper presents a quantitative method based on the instream flow incremental metho...
متن کاملRelationships of fish assemblages, instream physical habitat, and landscape characteristics of wadeable Iowa streams
Fish assemblages play a key role in stream ecosystems, and play a crucial role in the assessment of stream health. Physical habitat is a key component of stream ecosystems and plays a major role in determining biotic assemblages and stream integrity. There is increasing recognition of the role landscape factors play in determining biotic assemblages and stream integrity. Landscapes in Iowa and ...
متن کاملDEMONSTRATION FLOW ASSESSMENT: PROCEDURES FOR DIRECT OBSERVATION INSTREAM FLOW STUDIES Short title: DEMONSTRATION FLOW ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES
The Demonstration Flow Assessment (DFA) method for instream flow evaluation uses direct observation of river habitat conditions at several flows and expert judgement to rank the alternative flows. The DFA method has the advantage of allowing long river reaches to be assessed at relatively modest cost. However, past applications have often lacked procedures and documentation to assure that resul...
