General
River Characterisation
River typology
Hydromorphological quality elements
	Quantity and dynamics of water flow; Connection to groundwater bodies; River depth and width variation; Structure and substrate of the river bed; Structure of the riparian zone; Structure of the floodplain;
Biological quality elements
Ecosystem Services
EU Directives
Pressures
	Hydrological regime modification; Artificial barriers downstream from the site; Channelisation / cross section alteration; Alteration of riparian vegetation; Alteration of instream habitat; Embankments, levees or dikes; Loss of vertical connectivity;
Measures
	Increase flood frequency and duration in riparian zones or floodplains; Link flood reduction with ecological restoration; Widen water courses; Initiate natural channel dynamics to promote natural regeneration; Remove bank fixation; Adjust land use to develop riparian vegetation; Revegetate riparian zones; Remove bank fixation; Remove non-native substratum; Lower river banks or floodplains to enlarge inundation and flooding; Restore wetlands; Retain floodwater; Improve backwaters; Construct semi-natural/articificial wetlands or aquatic habitats;
