Możliwości wyceny jakości ekosystemów rzecznych przy pomocy monitoringu hydromorfologicznego

Celem pracy jest przedstawienie podstaw nowej polskiej metody monitoringu hydromorfologicznego rzek (MHR), która w Polsce będzie wdrażana od 2010 roku.

The objective of valuation of surface water bodies is to determine if, according to theWater Framework Directive, they will achieve good ecological status or potential by the year 2015. The new MHR method makes possible valuation of river hydromorphology. The method takes into account many EU and national regulations, if the availability of existing source materials, the present implementation of the Water Framework Directive as well as economic and organizational conditions.The method is based on assessment off our elements:hydrological regime, river continuity, and river bed and flood valley morphological conditions. Each element under goes digital evaluation on the basis of parameters and attributes. This allows to take in consideration many very different factors. The monitoring of hydromorphological elements renders possible qualitative classification and river ecosystem valuation. This constitutes the basis for diverse economic considerations.
