Narrative:

Enroute we lost hydraulic system 2 fluid followed by a hydraulic 2 low quantity message on the EICAS. We monitored the hydraulic quantity as it decreased to the minimum indicated value and simultaneously reviewed the QRH procedures for low quantity and possible hydraulic system failure. We notified both dispatch and maintenance control via ACARS of our situation. Ultimately we lost the engine 2 driven hydraulic pump and then experienced system 2 hydraulic failure. An emergency was declared with center and we requested that airfield rescue and fire fighters (arff) meet us at our filed destination. Dispatch was notified as well as destination operations. We were about 30 minutes out when I (captain) briefed the flight attendant on our situation. I also made a PA to inform the passengers about our situation. I was the flying pilot and ultimately flew a normal approach and landing. The first officer did an excellent job in communicating with ATC; company; as well as monitoring me and running the checklists. We were met by arff vehicles as requested. After parking and securing the aircraft a significant hydraulic leak was observed coming from the belly of the aircraft.loss of partial power to ailerons; rudder; loss of inboard brakes; loss of outboard spoilers; and loss of no. 2 thrust reverser. Uneventful approach and landing. Reduced breaking effectiveness and warm brakes after landing and taxi in.
