Current decisions concerning water allocation from rivers are constrained by the requirement of maintaining a viable ecosystem in the river or stream. The current practice is to use physical habitat as a surrogate for ecology based on the assumption that if the physical conditions are similar to those used by existing aquatic populations then the ecology will be maintained. Reliable hydrodynamic modeling tools are required to predict detailed depth, velocity and temperature distributions as a function of the stream discharge and geometry.

有关河流分配的目前决定的当前决定受到维持在河流或溪流中可行的生态系统的要求。当前的做法是将物理栖息地作为生态学的替代物，基于这样的假设，即如果物理条件与现有水生群体所使用的物理条件相似，那么将保持生态学。需要可靠的流体动力建模工具来预测详细的深度，速度和温度分布，这是流排放和几何形状的函数。
