Monitoring and assessment are integral components in adaptive management programmes that strive to improve the condition of river systems. Unfortunately, these procedures are generally applied with an emphasis upon biotic attributes and water quality, with limited regard for the geomorphic structure, function and evolutionary trajectory of a river system. Geomorphic principles convey an understanding of the landscape context within which ecohydrologic processes interact. Collectively, geo-eco-hydrologic understanding presents a coherent biophysical template that can be used to frame spatially and temporally rigorous approaches to monitoring that respect the inherent diversity, variability and complexity of any given river system. This understanding aids the development of management programmes that 'work with nature.' Unless an integrative perspective is used to monitor river condition, conservation and rehabilitation plans are unlikely to reach their true potential.
监测和评估是自适应管理计划的组成部分，这些计划旨在改善河流系统的状况。不幸的是，这些程序通常侧重于生物属性和水质，而对河流系统的地貌结构、功能和进化轨迹关注有限。地貌学原理传达了对生态水文过程相互作用的景观背景的理解。总的来说，地理生态水文学的理解提供了一个连贯的生物物理模板，可以用来构建在空间和时间上严格的监测方法，以尊重任何给定河流系统的固有多样性、可变性和复杂性。这种理解有助于制定“与自然合作”的管理计划。除非采用综合观点来监测河流状况，否则保护和恢复计划不太可能发挥其真正的潜力。
