Tartalmi leírás:
The classification according to Water Framework Directive (WFD) includes numerous challenges
in contrast with the previously applied water qualification standards. The most important element
of the ecological status, the biological one, is based on five groups of living organisms such as
phytoplankton, phytobenthon, macrophytes, macro-invertebrates and fish. The results of a threeyear
research project financed by the Ministry of Environment and Water (MoEW) and the
Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) are reported in this work. The objective of the project was
the elaboration of a proposal for biological classification according to the WFD for the related
groups of living organisms. In the course of the project the biological characteristics to be
measured were selected for each of the above listed groups which served as the basic data for
Biological Quality Elements (BQEs). In the cases BQEs we estimated the type-specific reference
values for most of the Hungarian surface water types. Then, we created the structure of the
qualification system for these groups, including specification of class boundaries between the five
classes for the Environmental Quality Ratio (EQR) values on the basis of expert estimation. A
non-taxonomic periphyton index (NTPI, not including in WFD) was also developed and tested for
qualification. The elaborated classification systems were tested on the basis of existing scarce data
base in the case of numerous Hungarian water types.
