Figure 6
Flood-dependent species habitat is represented by the part of the valley width that is at elevations between the stages of the Q30 and Q1 flows. Only river reaches that had one or more study sites were included in the map. Note that the amount of flood-dependent species habitat tends to increase from headwater streams to the head of the estuary, reflecting increasing watershed area and decreasing stream power.
Maps showing stream power, watershed area and habitat available for flood-dependent species across the watershed.
