What is BS EN 16870 - Hydromorphology about ?
BS EN 16870 guides in determining the degree of modification of lake hydro morphological features described in EN 16039. It enables consistent comparisons of hydromorphology between lakes within a country and between different countries in Europe, providing a method for broad-based characterization across a wide spectrum of hydro morphological modification.
BS EN 16870’s primary aim is to assess ‘departure from naturalness’ for a given type of lake because of human pressures, and it suggests suitable sources of information that may contribute to characterizing the degree of modification of hydro morphological features.
BS EN 16870 does not replace methods that have been developed within particular countries for local assessment and reporting. Decisions on management for individual lakes require expert local knowledge and vary according to lake type.
Who is BS EN 16870 - Hydromorphology for ?
BS EN 16870 on hydromorphology is relevant to:
- Any entity responsible for testing the quality of water
- Manufacturers and industries using water purifiers
- Environmentalists
- Researchers and scientists
Why should you use BS EN 16870 - Hydromorphology ?
Hydromorphology is the science of water bodies' physical characteristics and water content.
BS EN 16870 is described for assessing the degree of modification of the hydromorphological features of different lake zones.
BS EN 16870 provides guidance and methods for determining the hydromorphological modification of lakes as well as requirements and procedures for a sustainable environment.
Overall, by removing toxins in water and making a sustainable habitat with the help of BS EN 16870, you will be able to detect toxins in water and determine the degree of modification of lake hydromorphology which will improve the water quality.
