Field collection

The ISC contains information on five key aspects of river health. These components, or sub-indices, measure changes in hydrology, water quality, streamside zone (vegetation), physical form (bank condition and instream habitat) and aquatic life.

The data for each of the sub-indices is collected through:

Hydrology: Statewide hydrology gauging stations
Physical Form: Catchment Management Authorities field collection
Streamside Zone: Catchment Management Authorities field collection
Water Quality - Collected as part of the Victorian Water Quality Monitoring Network
Aquatic Life - Collected by the EPA using their macroinvertebrate sampling protocol
