eFlows Overview
About
The functional flows calculator (FFC) quantifies key aspects of the annual flow regime based on long-term daily streamflow time series data, producing a broad suite of descriptive functional flow metrics. These metrics are meant to characterize ecologically relevant components of a flow regime in a robust, objective manner to enable comparisons of streamflow across regions, natural stream classes, and various forms and magnitudes of flow alteration. The FFC generates metrics describing aspects of streamflow timing, magnitude, duration, frequency, and rate of change, organized into five seasonally-based functional flow components: 1) fall pulse flow, 2) wet-season flows, 3) peak magnitude flows, 4) spring recession flows, and 5) dry-season baseflow.
This project uses Python3 for its processing algorithm, React, Mapbox, and D3 for front end web development, and Express, Sequelize, and Postgres for the server.
