This seminar, presented in collaboration between Stormwater Victoria and the River Basin Management Society (RBMS), explores a practical pathway for applying the River Styles Framework to urban and highly modified streams by demonstrating how geomorphic principles can remain central to river management even where channels have been engineered, constrained or entirely reconstructed.
Drawing on examples from a range of urban settings, the presentation will show that the Framework provides a robust and flexible means of charactising river form and function, assessing condition, evaluating recovery potential, and identifying realisitic management priorities in urban riverscapes.
