Abstract: In the present work, we analyse the influence of 2D versus 3D hydrodynamic numerical simulations on the prediction of habitat suitability for brown trout, considered as target species, in two alpine river reaches that are affected by hydropeaking. The results show considerable differences on habitat evaluations between 2D and 3D approach.
