hydrogeomorphic classification

Hydrogeomorphic classification is a method used to categorize natural landscapes based on their water features and landforms. It considers how water interacts with the land, including rivers, lakes, wetlands, and coastal areas. By understanding these relationships, scientists and planners can assess the ecological health of an area, manage water resources effectively, and support biodiversity. This classification helps identify suitable habitats for wildlife and informs decisions on land use, conservation, and development, ensuring that both natural systems and human activities can coexist sustainably.
