Ecohydraulics

Ecohydraulics is the study of how water flow and movement affect and interact with ecosystems and aquatic life. It examines how rivers, streams, and other water bodies shape habitats and influence the plants and animals living there. By understanding these interactions, ecohydraulics helps in managing water resources sustainably, restoring degraded ecosystems, and designing structures like dams or channels that work harmoniously with the natural environment. Essentially, it combines principles of ecology and hydraulics to support healthy aquatic systems while meeting human needs.
