Has anyone taken a recent 4‑week ecohydraulics course — River2D, HEC‑EFM, or IHA — that improved your environmental flow setting and drought‑resilience work? I’m booking CEUs for April and need training I can take straight into a San Joaquin riparian restoration plan — case‑based, decision‑focused, with measurable conservation outcomes, not just software clicks. If you’ve got a standout instructor or program that helped you defend instream flows and water savings at the stakeholder table, I’d love the name.
HEC‑EFM’s April cohort helped me translate hydrographs into negotiable flow packages; we set a spring recession for cottonwood and fry baseflows, then compared scenarios by percent of years meeting those targets, which landed with stakeholders… “defend instream flows” — bring a one‑page objective→flow attribute→metric table and build your EFM relationships directly from it. It’s decision‑focused, but you’ll need to bring your San Joaquin targets — do you already have recruitment curves picked?
April IHA + River2D combo worked; set San Joaquin ‘5–10%/day recession’ and rearing baseflows, then validate via pre/post IHA — ok?
