set_floodplain_habitat: Set Floodplain Habitat Area
In FlowWest/cvpiaHabitat: Estimate Spawning and Rearing Habitat

Description Usage Arguments Value Lower-mid Sacramento River Examples

This function returns an estimated floodplain area based on watershed, species and flow.

1	set_floodplain_habitat(watershed, species, flow, flow2 = NULL)

`watershed`	a watershed defined for the SIT model
`species`	one of 'fr' (Fall Run), 'sr' (Spring Run), or 'st' (Steelhead)
`flow`	a flow value in cubic feet per second

floodplain habitat value in square meters

The Lower-mid Sacramento River has two nodes, one above Fremont Weir (C134) and one below (C160). When calculating habitat for the Lower-Mid Sacramento river, calculate the habitat at each flow node and sum them proportion to the length of stream above and below the weir:

35.6/58 * (habitat at C134) + 22.4/58 * (habitat at C160)

Regional Approximation: When a watershed has no associated floodplain modeling, an approximation is made. [insert method description]
