The National River Health Program was established in 1993. Its mission is to improve the management of Australia's rivers and floodplains for their long-term health and ecological sustainability. The Urban R&D Sub-program consists of research projects focusing on the development of standardised methods for assessing the ecological health of urban streams and estuaries which can be linked with data on water and sediment quality.

The Australian River Assessment System (AUSRIVAS) is a nationally standardised approach to biological assessment of stream condition using macroinvertebrates. It was developed under the auspices of the National River Health Program (NRHP). This section of the site provides extensive information on physical and chemical assessment methods and detailed instructions on the measurement of each AUSRIVAS variable.
