Sefa - Computer Software System for Environmental Flow Analysis Based on the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology

Several recent technological and generational changes have led to the need for improved approaches to riverine habitat modeling and more comprehensive environmental flow assessments. The Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) described an impact assessment framework but did not create the comprehensive software which would allow for a complete implementation of that framework. SEFA, Syste...

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...

Modification of Tennant and Wetted Perimeter Methods in Simindasht Basin, Tehran Province

Environmental Flow Requirement (EFR) is defined as the flow that is necessary to ensure the existence of habitats in water resources systems. EFR is defined in rivers as flow index commonly. Tennant method is the most popular hydrological method in rivers and based on the historic flow data. The most common method of hydraulic rating method is the wetted perimeter method. Habitat simulation tec...

Two-Dimensional Flow Modeling as a Tool for Meso-Habitat Delineation

The Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) and the Physical Habitat Simulation System (PHABSIM) are commonly used in the instream flow water allocation process. This methodology is based on the premise that physical habitat plays a major role in structuring fish populations and that physical habitat can be described through modeling of rivers. PHABSIM is a series of programs designed to c...

Flow Management to Control Excessive Growth of Macrophytes – An Assessment Based on Habitat Suitability Modeling

Mediterranean rivers in intensive agricultural watersheds usually display outgrowths of macrophytes - notably alien species - due to a combination of high concentrations of nutrients in the water runoff and low flows resulting from water abstraction for irrigation. Standard mechanical and chemical control is used to mitigate the problems associated with excessive growth of plant biomass: mainly...
