A quantitative description of physical habitats is essential for ecohydraulic modeling. For a given discharge and for any part of the aquatic space, a hydrosignature represents the calculation of the surface or volume percentages in a depth and mean velocity cross classification. Free software has been developed to provide the automatic calculation of hydrosignatures for several types of vertical measurements described by their depth and current velocity:Non spatialized data sets for a given surface,Cross sections,Meshing based on finite elements represented by triangles or four angles in the horizontal plane. As hydrosignatures are visualizations of the hydraulic diversity, they can be used for instance to help verify the validity of fauna habitat models.
