R implementation of the Ecological Risk due to Flow Alteration (ERFA) method

The R implementation of the Ecological Risk due to Flow Alteration (ERFA) method is a product of “Translating Environmental Flow Research in Cambodia” (TEFRIC), a project funded by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) involving the UCL Department of Geography, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (both in the UK) and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia and the Tonle Sap Authority (both in Cambodia). Whilst this software was developed as part of this project with a geographical focus on SE Asia (and the example data sets provided are for the Mekong River Basin), use of the code is not restricted to this region. Instead it can be applied for any situation where baseline and scenario river flow time series are available. The software is referred thereafter as TEFRIC ERFA and can be downloaded freely from NERC Environmental Information Data Centre (Laize and Thompson, 2019).
