=Hydromorphological Quality Elements (HYMOQE)= 

==General description==

<p>For the implementation of the [http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/water-framework/index_en.html Water Framework Directive], the assessment of ecological status of water bodies may be complemented with use of hydrogeomorphological (HYMO) indicators.  For inland surface waters these are:</p>

*[[:Category:Hydrological regime|Hydrological regime]]
**'''Quantity and dynamics of water flow'''
**'''Connection to groundwater bodies'''

*[[:Category:River continuity|River continuity]]

*[[:Category:Morphological conditions|Morphological conditions]]
**'''River depth and width variation'''
**'''Structure and substrate of the river bed'''
**'''Structure of the riparian zone'''
**'''Structure of the floodplain'''
