h3. General

HABITAT is spatial analysis tool to support the development of management plans. The tool is especially designed for ecological assessment to analyse the *availability and quality of habitats* for individual or groups of species, but it is also usefull for other spatial analysis where grid operations are needed like *flood risk* maps or *damages* to agriculture or urban areas in case of floods and droughts. HABITAT is developed by WL Delft Hydraulics and [Ministry of Transport, Public works and Water management|http://www.rijkswaterstaat.nl]. HABITATs current developer is [Deltares|http://www.Deltares.nl]. HABITAT has been built around [PCRaster|http://www.pcraster.nl], a software package responsible for making the map-calculations and incorporated in the user interface of [DelftShell|http://public.deltares.nl/display/DS/Home]

h3. Sections

The *Ecological* and *Damage toolbox* include factsheets on effect relations for ecological impact and damage assessment. Recent version of HABITAT can be obtained at *Downloads*, as well as articles and project descriptions. Tutorials, demos and user manual can be found at the Manual section. For sharing your knowledge rules look at the HABITAT *Community*. If you have questions or problems see the *Support* section.
