18、ropean Standard gives guidance on procedures for the pro-rata Multi-Habitat-Sampling (MHS) of benthic macro-invertebrates in wadeable rivers and streams. The term “pro-rata“ reflects the intention to sample adequate proportions of riverine habitats with reference to their percentage occurrence. The
19、pro-rata MHS technique does not replace other techniques, but is rather, alongside other applications, a fundamental requisite of some multi-metric assessment approaches used to evaluate the ecological status of running waters. The method described in this document is one of the possible techniques
20、among the existing pro-rata MHS techniques. The MHS methodology is based on Rapid Bioassessment Protocols 1, the procedures of the Environment Agency for England and Wales 2, the Austrian Guidelines for the Assessment of the Saprobiological Water Quality of Rivers and Streams 3, the AQEM sampling ma
