Appendix 3. Regionalisation Results 1. The relationship between the stream domains and the system controls on river development and behaviour.

This appendix consists of graphs that show the average and range of values of each system control on river development and behaviour, in each of the river domains. For the categorical system controls, graphs show the percentage of the total area of the domain that consists of that system control. For the continuous system controls, the graphs show the average value and the range from the 5th to the 95th percentile. Also included is a graph that shows the area covered by each domain.

To keep the data consistent with its presentation in other places in this report, the scale of some system controls has been altered. These units are described in Table 1, and it is important that you read these and remember them when interpreting the graphs.
