Applications of the CASiMiR Model
Meso CASiMiR
Past habitat models have focused especially on changes to the local scale using short (hundreds of meters) investigation reaches. The development of the Meso CASiMiR model aims to increase the application of expert knowledge based habitat modelling to the regional scale. Such meso scale models are required for the evaluation and management of river systems under the Water Framework Directive, where the smallest watershed management area is set at 200 km2.
