- Sainmhíniú degree to which components of a system are connected and interact through the flow of water, which provides a “hydraulic highway” along which physical, chemical, and biological materials associated with the water (e.g. sediment, woody debris, nutrients, contaminants, organisms) are transported Tagairt "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Leibowitz SG, Wigington PJ Jr, Schofield KA, Alexander LC, Vanderhoof MK, Golden HE. 'CONNECTIVITY OF STREAMS AND WETLANDS TO DOWNSTREAM WATERS: AN INTEGRATED SYSTEMS FRAMEWORK' (1.7.2022). Journal of the American Water Resources Association 2018;54(2):298-322. doi: 10.1111/1752-1688.12631. PMID: 30078985; PMCID: PMC6071435."

Generally, it includes three features: 'structural connectivity', 'functional connectivity' and 'process connectivity'. In the spatial dimension, hydrological connectivity has three dimensions: 'longitudinal connectivity' (from the headwater of a river to its estuary, or from the headwater of a tidal channel to its outlet), 'lateral connectivity' (from river channel to its floodplain) and 'vertical connectivity' (from surfacewater to groundwater).3) Hydrologic connectivity also has a temporal dimension."
