GUADALMED protocol (RBP)

Abstract:

A rapid protocol for Evaluation of the Ecological Status of Mediterranean rivers (RBP) has been designed within the GUADALMED project. This protocol provides the necessary methodology to determine the value of three indices: the QBR index (to evaluate riparian quality), the IBMWP index (former BMWP' for the assessment of biological quality of water), and the IHF index (physical habitat). The protocol also includes methods for measuring river discharge and physicochemical variables of water. © Asociación Española de Limnología.
