Abstract:

 


The
physical structures and the habitat qualities of any rivers and degradation in rivers
have become important elements of hydromorphological assessment because of recognising
the influences of these variables in biotic structure that led to the
development of more comprehensive assessments of rivers, including river
habitat structure within the quality assessment. Accordingly, numerous hydromorphological assessment methods have been developed worldwide
including Europe after the Water Framework Directive came into force. Turkey,
as a European Union candidate country, has started to implement the Directive
and has made some progress. In this context, Turkey needs to develop a national
hydromorphological assessment method compliant with the. Two of Multi Criteria
Decision Making (methods, which are Analytical Hierarchy Process and Simple
Additive Weighting were applied to find the most suitable hydromorphological
assessment method for Turkey. For this aim, we reviewed 25 non-European methods
and 19 European methods, and determined the Slovenian method and the South
African method as the most convenient ones.
