navigability
Waterway travel potential
Navigability is the quality of being passable or easy to move through.
A river's navigability depends on depth, width, and obstructions.
For websites and apps, navigability refers to how easily users can find their way around: The site's poor navigability frustrated customers.
Legal disputes over navigability often determine whether waterways are public or private.
