General
River Characterisation
	Catchment; Catchment; Segment; Segment; Reach; Reach; Geomorphic unit; Geomorphic unit;
Hydromorphological quality elements
	Quantity and dynamics of water flow; River continuity; River depth and width variation; Structure and substrate of the river bed; Structure of the riparian zone; Structure of the floodplain;
Biological quality elements
