Identifier
Description The NSW River Styles is a spatial dataset that contains over 220,000 km of river length in NSW and records information (attributes) for each discrete section (reach) of river using the River Styles Framework. A River Style is a discrete river type, defined according to its valley setting, planform, bed material and assemblage of geomorphic units. The River Styles Framework is an approach to geomorphologically informed river management that was developed at Macquarie University (https://rive

Purpose The River Styles Framework can help us identify rare and threatened river forms across NSW. It can also help to describe individual rivers, assess their current geomorphic condition and forecast whether a river is degrading or recovering. This information will help inform our management of our rivers by: • knowing what kind of river you’re working with • recognising and treating underlying physical environmental issues, rather than just the symptoms • developing and using monitoring, evaluation
