| Abstract |
This RBIS plugin allows calculating five different types of Environment Flow Components (EFCs): low flows, extreme low flows, high flow pulses, small floods, and large floods. This delineation of EFCs is based on the realization by research ecologists that river hydrographs can be divided into a repeating set of hydrographic patterns that are ecologically relevant. It is the full spectrum of flow conditions represented by these five types of flow events that must be maintained in order to sustain riverine ecological integrity. Implementation was done based on the R "flowregime" package (https://github.com/mkoohafkan/flowregime).
