These input values can be obtained from numerical modelling, analysis of water level/discharge time series, and fieldwork.

 =Introduction=
 The ''Hydropeaking Tool'' was designed to assess the impacts of hydropeaking on fish populations in regulated rivers. It is available as an Excel file.
-The hydropeaking tool is based on a method for assessing impacts from hydropeaking developed for salmonids at SINTEF Energy as a part of the CEDREN EnviPeak project (Norwegian Research Council, Grant number 193818).

 In FIThydro, the Hydropeaking Tool has been developed also for Iberian barbel and grayling, in addition to salmonids. Factors, criteria and thresholds that determine the assessment for these species have been modified based on available literature and expert knowledge.

-In the Hydropeaking tool, the impacts from hydropeaking are divided into two axis: direct effects from hydropeaking and vulnerability of the fish population to hydropeaking. The effect axis characterises the possible ecological impacts of peaking from how physical conditions such as flow, water level and water covered area changes, given the hydropower system and river morphology. The vulnerability axis characterises how vulnerable the system is to further influence from peaking. Both axis may be evaluated separately, but we also provide a system to combine them and obtain an overall assessment of hydropeaking (Figure 1). The starting point for the evaluation of the current situation is a regulated river without peaking operations.

 The outputs from the Hydropeaking Tool are the score of effects factors, the score of vulnerability factors, and the score for the combined assessment (Figure 2).
-The Hydropeaking Tool aims at being used to assess existing or planned hydropeaking. It also gives the user a possibility to see which parameters have a low score, helping to identify where mitigation should be concentrated.
