Geomorphic stream condition at time of assessment. It indicates whether the physical form and function of the reach is appropriate and expected for the Style of river and the environmental/landscape setting in which it is found. Good condition reaches have the expected geomorphic character (physical form and features, including vegetation) and behaviour (response to disturbances and adjustments) for a particular River Style. Moderate condition reaches are noticeably impacted, typically through human disturbance. Poor condition reaches have accelerated degrading processes and lack geomorphic character expected of a reach. |
