1                                                                                                                                    Assessment indicator: An ecosystem function requires environmental watering to sustain it if it provides vital habitat, including:
                                                                                                                                     (a) a refugium for native water‑dependent biota during dry periods and drought; or
                                                                                                                                     (b) pathways for the dispersal, migration and movement of native water‑dependent biota; or
                                                                                                                                     (c) a diversity of important feeding, breeding and nursery sites for native water‑dependent biota; or
                                                                                                                                     (d) a diversity of aquatic environments including pools, riffle and run environments; or
                                                                                                                                     (e) a vital habitat that is essential for preventing the decline of native water‑dependent biota.
Criterion 2: The ecosystem function supports the transportation and dilution of nutrients, organic matter and sediment
