What is a River Condition Assessment?
A River Condition Assessment evaluates the ecological condition of a river habitat and identifies factors affecting its quality and biodiversity. River Condition Assessments can establish a baseline, inform Biodiversity Net Gain calculations, support river restoration and enhancement projects, and monitor changes in habitat condition over time.
