Streams and stream networks have a linear, or longitudinal, dimension along with lateral, vertical and temporal dimensions. Protecting longitudinal connectivity—the linkages of habitats, species, communities, and ecological processes between upstream and downstream portions of a stream corridor—is often an essential goal of inland water conservation and involves preventing or removing physical and chemical barriers.

Les cours d'eau et leurs réseaux ont une dimension linéaire, ou longitudinale, mais aussi une dimension latérale, verticale et temporelle. La protection de la connectivité longitudinale – le lien entre des habitats, des espèces, des communautés et des processus écologiques entre les portions amont et aval d'un cours d'eau ou d'un réseau formant corridor – est souvent un but essentiel de la conservation des eaux intérieures et elle implique d'empêcher ou d'enlever les barrières physiques ou chimiques.
