Notes:

First the hydraulic conditions are simulated using the 2-D models. Simulations are run for at least 10 different discharges ranging from a very low base flow to overbank flows. Then, using agreed upon HSC, in this case developed using the Delphi Method, these hydraulic characteristics are reclassified as suitable habitat using GIS. Areas of suitable habitat are then calculated for each flow modeled and compiled into look-up tables. I have a couple of slides that illustrate this process.
