Popis: This paper explores the potential application of the Urban River Survey (URS) method for assessment of the hydromorphological condition of a heavily modified waterbody pre- and post-implementation of mitigation measures. The findings of a case study are used to demonstrate the utilisation of URS for monitoring hydromorphological response to restoration and assessing hydromorphological quality, particularly in relation to ecological potential and the European Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC).
