Abstract
Aims :Diatom-based indices are widely used for river health assessment. Many such indices were originally developed in European countries based on a specific taxa list of benthic diatoms. Thus, the transferabil ity of these indices to other rivers and geographic locations has been questioned. Design,Place and Duration of Study:In this study, we sampled benthic diatoms in the
