Hydromorphological Quality Elements (HYMOQE)
For the implementation of the Water Framework Directive, the assessment of ecological status of water bodies may be complemented with use of hydrogeomorphological (HYMO) indicators. For inland surface waters these are:
- Hydrological regime
- Quantity and dynamics of water flow
- Connection to groundwater bodies
- Morphological conditions
- River depth and width variation
- Structure and substrate of the river bed
- Structure of the riparian zone
- Structure of the floodplain
Click in the HYMOQE name to see the corresponding list of case studies.
