EcoFIP
Restore ecosystems. Reduce flood risk.
EcoFIP identifies high-impact floodplain reconnection opportunities that restore ecological function and reduce flood risk. By integrating geospatial data, daily flow records, and digital elevation models, EcoFIP evaluates restoration potential at both site and reach scales.
Hydraulic simulations generate detailed maps of water level, depth, velocity, inundation extent, and height above river (HAR) across a range of flows—capturing how landscapes respond to changing hydrology. These outputs are layered with habitat suitability indices, soil infiltration rates, and groundwater depth data to assess physical habitat availability and recharge potential.
Benefits
Targeted Restoration
Identify and prioritize high-impact floodplain reconnection opportunities.

Quantified Benefits
Measure changes in inundation, habitat, and groundwater recharge.
Decision Support
Inform planning with consistent, data-driven metrics
Scalable
Evaluate both site-specific and reach-scale restoration scenarios.
