BS EN 16039:2011EN 16039:2011 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard contains lists of lake featur

22、es and guidance on how to record, analyse and interpret the data obtained from desk-top, remote sensing and field surveys. In this document the word lake is used as a generic term for standing waters including natural and modified lakes, reservoirs and excavated pits. The physical character of a lak

23、e is defined by its morphometry (size and shape) and by its hydrological regime, both of which are contingent on the landscape setting of the lake-catchment system and its environmental history. Ensuring that the key features and associated physical processes operating within lakes are consistently

24、recognised enables legitimate comparisons to be made among different lake types. This is required for a range of purposes, including the EC Water Framework Directive (WFD), the EC Habitats Directive, and lake management and restoration. The WFD requires physical features of surface waters to be cons

25、idered when assessing ecological status and refers to these features as hydromorphological. Annex V of the WFD lists two categories of hydromorphological quality elements for assessing lakes hydrological regime and morphological conditions each sub-divided into a number of specified quality elements

26、. Those in the hydrological category comprise the quantity and dynamics of flow, level, residence time and connection to groundwaters, whilst those in the morphological category are lake depth variation, quantity and structure of the substrate and the structure and condition of the lake shore zone.

27、The Habitats Directive applies to a wide range of terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats and species. The Directive requires Member States to maintain or restore these to favourable conservation status, partly by designating Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). For lakes, the process of select

28、ion and monitoring SACs involves recording and regularly assessing a suite of physical, chemical and biological features. A standard approach to hydromorphological assessment, while not specifically required by the Directive, thus enables the contribution of physical structure and hydrology to favou

29、rable conservation status to be assessed, and allows comparisons to be made between Member States. NOTE In this document, assessment is used as a broad term referring to the general description and characterization of lake features and the pressures that impinge upon them. It is not used to imply pa

30、rticular levels of quality or value, whether related to ecological status under the WFD or more generally. BS EN 16039:2011EN 16039:2011 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard is applicable to lakes, which are water bodies occupying one or more basins with surface areas greater than 1 ha (0,01 km2) an

31、d maximum depths (at mean water level) greater than 1 m. All types of permanent lakes, including natural, modified and artificial, freshwater and brackish, except for those systems which regularly connect to the sea, are included in this European Standard, though canals are excluded. Based on these

32、criteria, it can be estimated that there are at least 500 000 natural lakes across Europe, most of which are located in the glaciated landscapes in northern and western provinces and in Scandinavia. Lakeland districts also occur locally in areas such as the Danubian plain and around the Alps. Elsewh

33、ere, naturally occurring lakes are relatively sparse and in such areas reservoirs or pits are more common. This European Standard is designed to: a) support environmental and conservation agencies in meeting the monitoring requirements of the WFD (Article 8, Annex II and Annex V); b) generate data s

34、ets appropriate for monitoring and reporting of Natura 2000 sites designated under the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive; c) provide information supporting other environmental reporting requirements (e.g. in relation to biodiversity or environmental impact assessment); d) support lake manag

35、ement and restoration initiatives. This European Standard: e) defines the key term of hydromorphology and other terms relating to the physical characteristics of lakes and their hydrological regimes; f) details essential features and processes of lakes that should be characterised as part of a hydro

36、morphological survey and for determining the hydromorphological condition of a lake; g) identifies and defines the key pressures affecting European lakes; h) provides guidance on strategies for collecting hydromorphological data depending on resources available and the anticipated use of the assessm

37、ent; a hierarchy of approaches is recognised from the overview method utilising existing databases, maps and remote sensing data through to recognised field-based survey techniques such as Lake Habitat Survey (LHS); i) offers guidance on data presentation; j) establishes guidance on data quality ass

38、urance issues. This European Standard does not deal with biological assessments in lakes such as the presence or absence of individual species or community composition, nor does it attempt to link specific hydromorphological features with their associated biological communities or to create a classi

39、fication based on such links. However, it is relevant where plants or other organisms form significant structural elements of the habitat (e.g. a gradation from riparian to littoral vegetation). With respect to the WFD, the hydromorphological condition of a lake only contributes to its status classi

40、fication at high ecological status (HES). Hydromorphological conditions are not defined for good and moderate status but shall be sufficient to support the biological elements.

41、omorphological features of rivers 3 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 aquatic macrophyte larger plant of fresh water which is easily seen with the naked eye, including all aquatic vascular plants, bryophytes, stoneworts (Characeae)

42、 and macro-algal growths NOTE This definition includes plants associated with open water or wetlands with shallow water. 3.2 attribute specific recorded elements of a hydromorphological feature EXAMPLE Silt and boulders are natural substrate texture attributes, sheet piling and gabions are attribute

43、s of engineered banks. 3.3 bank physical edge of the lake shore, or of the island(s) within NOTE Generally defined by a wave-cut break in slope at or near the waters edge of the lake, but can also be defined as the line along which riparian (terrestrial or land) conditions change to littoral in-lake

44、 conditions. 3.4 basin defined hollows which are permanently or temporarily filled with water NOTE Basin size and shape (morphometry) strongly control the fluxes of substances in lakes and the structure and function of lake food webs. 3.5 bathymetry systematic survey of size, shape and water depth d

45、istribution in a lake NOTE Bathymetry is the basis of deriving morphometric parameters and to predict thermal stratification, residence time and sediment redistribution processes. 3.6 bay indent of the lake shore which can span from metres to many kilometres in size NOTE Bays are normally protected

46、by a promontory (or headland) projecting from the shore which reduces exposure. Bays often contain beach deposits. 3.7 bedform patterns topography of the lake bed may be simple or complex depending on the size and shape of the system and the nature of local sediment transport processes NOTE Depositi

47、on produces bedforms such as sand and gravel bars, whilst erosion results in scour features such as troughs.

48、each sub-zone of the exposed shore above the water line of a lake defined by the accumulation of sediment (texturally will range in grain size from clays and silts through to boulders) depending on the energetics of the wave environment and the geomorphological history of the site 3.10 catchment dra
