Type Specific and Multi-Metric Model for Evaluation of Ecological State of Surface Waters: Case Study of ARROW Project of WFD EU Implementation in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The project ARROW (Assessment and Reference Reports of Water monitoring - http://www.cba.muni.cz/arrow/eng) is focused on the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive in the monitoring of surface waters of the Czech Republic. The final evaluation of ecological state in this project is based on multi-metric model which combine results from indices evaluation of biological communities (type specific approach which is the main aim of this paper) and predictive modeling of biological communities composition. The computation of multi-metric model for evaluation of ecological state is based on definition of its modules for different stressors, i.e. it works with well validated environmental gradient comprising both reference and contaminated (standard) sites. The type specific modules are based on analysis of approximately 100 indices of biological communities where their ability for distinguishing between reference and contaminated sites, correlation with stressors of contaminated
