Ecomorphology Level F – Drop structures
To enable surface waters to be fully protected, their status must be known. The Modular Stepwise Procedure provides the framework for standardized investigation and assessment of surface waters. The procedure is modular in structure and comprises surveys of hydrology, watercourse structure (ecomorp…
This dataset is part of Switzerland's Modular Stepwise Procedure for assessing the ecological condition of surface waters, published by the Swiss Confederation (Federal Office for the Environment, FOEN). It focuses on ecomorphology at Level F, specifically drop structures such as weirs and other artificial steps that interrupt watercourse continuity. The data forms part of a standardized, nationwide survey covering hydrology and watercourse structure, enabling consistent classification of river and stream conditions across Switzerland. It supports environmental monitoring and planning related to water protection, river restoration, and habitat connectivity, and is provided as open geospatial data without authentication requirements.
