To achieve this, collected data must, through a systematic framework, be linked to measurable management objectives. This paper demonstrates how the results obtained with biological indices and system-specific knowledge, are combined to derive semi quantitative assessments of ecosystem condition. These assessments provide the basis for responding to the results of a river monitoring programme.enBiological integrityBiomonitoring of riversFish community assessmentInvertebrate community assessmentResource quality objectivesEnvironmental sciencesWater resourcesEnvironmental engineeringBiological monitoring and assessment of rivers as a basis for identifying and prioritising river management optionsArticleRoux, D., Kleynhans, C., & Thirion, C.
