The NSW River Condition Index (RCI) is the primary long-term reporting tool for assessing riverine condition. It is used to combine a range of indicators into a single condition score. The indicators include riparian vegetation, geomorphic condition, hydrologic stress, biodiversity, catchment disturbance and water quality.<\/span><\/p>

The RCI was first developed in 2012 using the Framework for the Assessment of River and Wetland Health (FARWH) approach. The FARWH is an accepted approach applied throughout Australia. It uses existing data collection activities across Australia and converts them into a standardised and nationally comparable representation of river health.<\/span><\/p>

The River Condition Index <\/span>method document<\/a> 2023, explains the index and its application across NSW. The RCI data shown in this map reflects this latest version of the RCI product.<\/span><\/p>
