Water Quality - Guidance standard for assessing the hydromorphological features of rivers
This document provides guidance on the features to be recorded when characterising and assessing the hydromorphology of rivers. It is based on methods developed, tested, and compared in Europe. Its main aim is to improve the comparability of hydromorphological survey methods, data processing, interpretation and presentation of results. Whilst it has particular importance in relation to the reporting requirements of the WFD, it also has considerably wider scope for other applications. Although hydromorphology is dependent on hydrology and underlying geology, this standard is focused on the structural features of rivers and on river continuity. In addition, whilst recognising the important influence of hydromorphology on plant and animal ecology and, conversely, the influence of plants and animals on hydromorphology, no attempt is made to provide guidance in this area.
Wasserbeschaffenheit - Anleitung zur Beurteilung hydromorphologischer Eigenschaften von Fließgewässern
Dieses Dokument gibt eine Anleitung zur Festlegung von Anforderungen, die zur Charakterisierung und
Beurteilung der Hydromorphologie von Fließgewässern notwendig sind. Sie beruht auf Verfahren, die in
Europa entwickelt, geprüft und verglichen worden sind. Das Hauptziel dieser Norm ist es, die Vergleichbarkeit
der hydromorphologischen Erfassungsmethoden, der Datenverarbeitung, der Interpretation und der
Präsentation der Ergebnisse zu ermöglichen. Obwohl sie spezielle Bedeutung in Bezug auf die
Berichtspflichten nach der EG-WRRL hat, gibt es einen darüber hinausgehenden Anwendungsbereich.
Obwohl die Hydromorphologie von der Hydrologie und der Geologie der Einzugsgebiete abhängt, liegt der
Schwerpunkt dieser Norm auf den strukturellen Eigenschaften von Flüssen und deren biologische
Durchgängigkeit. Es ist durchaus bekannt, dass die Hydromorphologie für das Vorkommen von Pflanzen und
Tieren einerseits ausschlaggebend ist, und andererseits Pflanzen und Tiere die Hydromorphologie
beeinflussen. Diese Norm enthält jedoch hierzu keine Anleitung.
Qualité de l'eau - Guide pour l'évaluation des caractéristiques hydromorphologiques des rivières
Le présent document donne des conseils sur les caractéristiques à enregistrer lors d�une caractérisation et
d�une évaluation de l�hydromorphologie d�une rivière. Il est fondé sur des méthodes mises au point, essayées
et comparées en Europe. Il a pour objectif d�améliorer la comparabilité des méthodes de suivi
hydromorphologique, du traitement des données, de l�interprétation et la présentation des résultats. Bien qu�il
soit d�une importance toute particulière, eu égard aux exigences de la WFD, il a également un domaine
d�application bien plus large. Bien que l�hydromorphologie dépende de l�hydrologie et de la géologie sous-jacente,
le présent document porte essentiellement sur les caractéristiques structurales et sur la continuité
des rivières. En outre, bien que l�influence importante de l�hydromorphologie sur l�écologie végétale et animale,
et inversement, l�influence de l�écologie végétale et animale sur l�hydromorphologie soient reconnues, aucune
tentative n�est faite pour fournir des conseils dans ce domaine.

2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 aquatic macrophytes larger plants of fresh water which are easily seen with the naked eye, including all aquatic vascular plants, bryophytes, stoneworts (Characeae) and macro-algal growths NOTE This definition includes plants associated with open water or wetlands with shallow water. 2.2 attribute specific recorded element of a hydromorphological feature (e.g. ‘boulders’ and ‘silt’ are substrate attributes; ‘sheet piling’ and ‘gabions’ are attributes of engineered banks) 2.3 backwater area of low velocity or static water under dry-weather flows, most commonly former river channels or flood channels within the alluvial floodplain, connected to the river channel at least in periods of high flow 2.4 bank permanent side of a river or island, which is above the normal water level and only submerged during periods of high river flow NOTE In the context of this standard, the top is marked by the first major break in slope, above which cultivation or development is possible. 2.5 bankfull maximum point on banks at which floods are held within the channel before spilling over onto the floodplain 2.6 berm natural or artificial shelf within a river that is exposed above water level during low flows, but is submerged during high flows 2.7 bog wetland,
in which the vegetation communities (frequently dominated by Sphagnum mosses) form peat over long periods of time SIST EN 14614:2005
