EcoFIP
Prioritizing Floodplain Investment with Quantified, Multi‑Benefit Insight
What Problem EcoFIP Helps Solve
Floodplain restoration projects deliver many benefits—reducing flood risk, improving habitat, and increasing groundwater recharge—but deciding where to invest is often complicated by funding, land access, potential impact and regulatory complexity.
EcoFIP was developed to help planners, agencies, and owners identify and prioritize floodplain opportunities with defensible, data‑driven metrics.
How EcoFIP Creates Value for Clients
EcoFIP evaluates how landscapes respond to changing hydrology by integrating geospatial data, flow records, and digital elevation models with hydraulic simulations. Rather than producing isolated model outputs focused on one solution, EcoFIP translates complex hydrologic behavior into comparable measures of inundation, habitat availability, and recharge potential.
