Hydraulic simulations for regional fish modeling
This thesis addresses a significant problem in modeling aquatic ecosystems by developing methods to use available regional data to produce site-specific input for fish models and minimize field data requirements for modeling. The stream channel synthesis and hydraulic simulation methods include creating habitat type sequences and channel shapes, identifying calibration flows, calibrating HEC-RAS, and producing depth and velocity rating curves for each cell. We then conduct experiments using an individual based model (inStream) to simulate trout populations in virtual stream channels throughout a watershed
