Abstract

<p>River classifications identify the key features that make rivers different or similar and so provide a tool by which the insights and knowledge gained in one river or region may be meaningfully applied or transferred to another.  This project proposes to develop a regional classification of Australia’s rivers based on ecologically relevant aspects of their hydrology (i.e. an ecohydrological classification).</p>

Outcomes

This research will help enable the important findings of other TRaCK research projects in catchments such as the Daly, Fitzroy and Mitchell Rivers to be transferred and applied with confidence, to other catchments in north Australia
