BS EN 16870:2017 EN 16870:2017 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard will enable broad comparisons to be made of the hydromorphological condition of lakes throughout Europe (e.g. for reporting by the European Environment Agency). In this document, the word lake is used as a generi
27、c term for standing waters including natural lakes, reservoirs, excavated pits and other artificial water bodies. The Guidance standard for assessing the hydromorphological features of lakes (EN 16039) describes a protocol for survey (field and remote sensing methods) and feature recording, whereas
28、this standard gives guidance on assessing the condition of those features, and focuses especially on human pressures that affect lakes. This standard has applications for nature conservation, environmental impact assessment, lake management, and guiding lake restoration work. The assessment of lake
29、quality in Europe has evolved over the past decades from its focus on chemical conditions to a more comprehensive ecological approach. The EC Water Framework Directive (WFD) has reinforced the need for this broader view of lake quality through its requirement for determining ecological status based
30、on phytoplankton, phytobenthos, macrophytes, invertebrates and fish. The Directive also requires hydromorphological and physico-chemical conditions to be suitable for supporting biological communities. This standard, therefore, may be helpful for implementing the WFD when indicating the extent to wh
31、ich pressures might have caused a departure from natural hydromorphological conditions. In doing so it complements methods that have been developed within particular countries for assessment and reporting under the WFD. However, this standard makes no links between hydromorphology and biology, nor d
32、oes it set any hydromorphological condition targets that should be achieved. Whereas decisions on management for individual lakes require expert local knowledge and vary according to lake type, this standard provides a framework to help those decisions to be made consistently. BS EN 16870:2017 EN 16
33、870:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on determining the degree of modification of lake hydromorphological features described in EN 16039. It enables consistent comparisons of hydromorphology between lakes within a country and between different countries in Europe, providin
34、g a method for broad based characterization across a wide spectrum of hydromorphological modification. Its primary aim is to assess departure from naturalness for a given type of lake as a result of human pressures, and it suggests suitable sources of information that may contribute to characterizin
35、g the degree of modification of hydromorphological features. For wholly artificial lakes or reservoirs formed by damming rivers the aim is to assess the extent to which processes approximate to those in comparable natural water bodies. However, this standard does not replace methods that have been d
36、eveloped within particular countries for local assessment and reporting. Decisions on management for individual lakes require expert local knowledge and vary according to lake type. The assessment of the hydromorphological conditions as needed for the WFD (supporting the biological quality elements)
37、 remains in the competence of the individual Member States. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
