摘要

Ecohydraulics aims to reconciliate the development of water resources with ecological considerations and promote the restoration of aquatics ecosystems wherever possible in a perspective of sustainable development. Public policies related to conservation flows have resulted in the rapid development of physical habitat models which are currently used to quantify Instream Flow Needs (IFN) for fish. Perceived as reductionist engineering tools, this kind of models has suffered several criticisms in the past, some of them being reported herein. Many of these critics received careful attention from modelers for more than fifteen years but a lot remains to do to improve the intrinsic value of such instruments. Conceptual suggestions and thoughts are being proposed in this contribution related to the three main components of such models: the biological (or fish) model, the collection or simulation of abiotic variables underlying the habitat definition (the river model), and the dynamic aspects related to hydrology and basin land uses (the hydrological model). For the fish model, conceptualized by empirical behavior laws, new multivariate formalisms are being proposed to increase the model rendering and accuracy with respect to fish distribution in rivers. For documenting the field distribution of abiotic factors (river model), considerations related to DTM are proposed. A mixed use of terrain characterization and simulation results allows to combine several layers of information which, however, require appropriate graphical support and GIS-type analysis tools to homogenize the data layers on common supports and allow proper habitat calculation. Dynamic aspects of habitats, including consideration regarding the seasonal life phases of species, or their response to hydrological regime (Ecohydrology) need also new formalisms in order to convert habitat time series (habitat regime) into meaningful rules for water management planning schemes. An emphasis is put on the validation procedures for habitat models which are based on successive steps of modeling effort each of them having the possibility to introduce errors or biases. Spatial analysis of habitat structures will need some attention from researchers in order to address concerns related to the competitive behavior of species in complex communities or to address the conservation of biodiversity. Finally, it is stated that the multidisciplinary context of habitat studies rely very much on the mutual understanding between engineers and ecologists (modelers) not only about the tools and concepts proposed but also about the basic values governing each participating discipline.
