Hydromorphology is one of the key components of ecological integrity of a waterbody according to European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD). Therefore, hydromorphological quality assessment plays a significant role in evaluating the status of aquatic life. The aim of this study is to assess hydromorphological characteristics of Sakarya Watershed where hydromorphological alteration and anthropogenic pressures are significant. Morphological conditions of the streams, river continuity and hydrological regime are evaluated. In this study, hydrological foundation of the assessment is established using a hydrologic model, Water Evaluation and Planning Model (WEAP). Moreover, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) tools in addition to field surveys are used in the spatial and temporal evaluation of the hydromorphological characteristics in the study area. It is believed that the outcomes of this study will aid decision makers to develop sustainable management alternatives to improve ecological integrity in Sakarya Watershed.
