19、6772:2016EN 16772:2016 (E) 4 Introduction WARNING Safety issues are paramount when surveying rivers. Surveyors should conform to EU and national Health and Safety legislation, and any additional guidelines appropriate for working in or near rivers. The term “hyporheic” is derived from two Greek word
20、s: hypo (under) and rheos (flow), and was first used by Orghidan in 1959 1 to delineate the area of saturated subsurface sediments beneath and lateral to the wetted channel that contains a mix of surface water and groundwater. In the past 50 years, scientific understanding of the hyporheic zone has
21、improved 2 and the term has been modified and expanded by hydrologists, hydrogeologists, chemists and biologists to reflect the importance of: the upwelling and downwelling of water into and out of the stream bed and the mixing ratio of surface water and groundwater; the nature and rate of biogeoche
22、mical processes resulting from upwelling of interstitial water or downwelling of surface water; the ecotonal nature of the hyporheic zone which provides important habitat for benthic taxa, specialist hyporheic organisms and groundwater fauna, including macroinvertebrates, meiofauna and microorganism
23、s. Meiofauna includes microcrustaceans, rotifers and nematodes as well early instars of many aquatic insects. In this standard the hyporheic zone is defined as the spatio-temporally dynamic ecotone between the surficial benthic substrate and the underlying aquifer. Within the hyporheic zone, water,
24、solutes and biota are exchanged with the stream above, the groundwater below and the saturated sediments lateral to the channel. The term “hyporheic zone” is applied to the physical habitat while the term “hyporheos” coined by Williams and Hynes in 1974 3 is used to describe the faunal community inh
25、abiting it. Over the past few decades, the importance of the hyporheic zone has been increasingly recognized, with the vertical dimension added to spatial concepts of lateral and longitudinal connectivity. Together with the temporal dimension this has created a four-dimensional understanding of rive
26、r ecosystems 4, 5, 6. As the hyporheic zone is an ecotone between surface water and groundwater, abiotic conditions may reflect a transition between the two. Table 1 provides a general comparison of the physical characteristics of each environment. Table 1 Physical characteristics of typical groundw
27、ater and hyporheic environments compared with surface waters Physical characteristic Groundwater Hyporheic Light Constant darkness Constant darkness Current velocity Much lower Lower Annual and daily temperature range Much smaller Smaller Substrate stability Much higher Higher Approaches to river co
28、nservation and management recognize the need for a better understanding of the interactions between surface water and groundwater when undertaking investigations in the field. As the ecotone between the two, the hyporheic zone plays a vital part in ecosystem functioning in many rivers, including a c
29、ritical role in the flow of energy, cycling of nutrients and organic compounds, as well as pollution attenuation. The hyporheic zone contributes to overall river biodiversity. It also provides a nursery for young life-stages of some fish and invertebrates and a potential refuge for benthos during ad
30、verse environmental conditions, such as flooding, low flows, chemical pollution, stream-bed drying or freezing. The hyporheic zone may therefore enhance the recovery of the benthic community following disturbance. BS EN 16772:2016EN 16772:2016 (E) 5 An increased interest in the hyporheic zone has re
31、sulted, in part, from international legislation, such as EC directives: the Habitats Directive 7, the Water Framework Directive 8, the Groundwater Directive 9 and the Nitrates Directive 10. Although investigations into the hyporheic zone are not explicit within these directives, they do require nati
32、onal regulatory authorities to adopt a more integrated approach to the management of river catchments as a whole. Consequently, an understanding of the hyporheic zone, including its functions and the potential threats to these, is vital in order to comply fully with the requirements of these directi
33、ves. Investigations of the hyporheic zone may also be needed more generally for catchment management, river restoration, site-based investigations or for research. Consequently, the purpose of any study should be carefully considered when selecting the most appropriate method for sampling the hyporh
34、eos, especially if the collection of water quality and associated sediment data is also required. In addition, the methods described in this standard may require modification to reflect local conditions. BS EN 16772:2016EN 16772:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on methods
35、for sampling invertebrates in the hyporheic zone of wadable rivers. It describes each method, including details of the equipment involved and its use in the field. Guidance is given on developing a sampling strategy and selecting an appropriate survey technique for the purpose of investigation. NOTE

Table 2 summarizes each sampling method according to
49、its suitability for particular objectives. This includes consideration of: attributes and variations in hyporheic fauna, substrate and the interstitial environment; whether the method can be applied instream and/or in the riparian zone; whether data collected are fully quantitative or semi-quantitative. All methods can be used to describe diversity, taxon richness, abundance and biomass, recognizing their known limitations.
