对德兰士瓦东部萨比河的分析促进了分层分类的发展，该分类适合作为各种学科和各种规模的河流研究框架。该系统以地貌学为基础，基于现有的特定学科分类。它提供了与地貌单元（分类中最小的河流划分）、河道类型（地貌单元的组合）、河段（河道类型的特定组合）、宏观河段（特定组合中的河段）和区域（在斜坡或地质接触的主要断裂处的边界）相关的河流特征。该分类的优点是易于适应其他河流系统，特别是那些与萨比河等不符合河流研究文献中详细记载的河流的系统。
Analysis of the Sabie River in the Eastern Transvaal has facilitated the development of a hierarchical classification suitable as a framework for fluvial research in a variety of disciplines and at a variety of scales. The system, which has its foundations in geomorphology, is based on existing discipline-specific classifications. It provides for the characterisation of a river in relation to geomorphological units (the smallest fluvial division in the classification), channel types (combinations of geomorphological units), reaches (specific assemblages of channel types), macro-reaches (reaches in a specific association) and zones (with boundaries at major breaks in slope or geological contacts). The classification has the advantage of readily being adaptable to other river systems, particularly those which, like the Sabie, do not conform to rivers which are well-documented in the fluvial research literature.
