<strong>RENA</strong> Workshop<br />

Monitoring acc. to Water<br />

Framework Directive<br />

The typology of surface waters<br />

For about 100 years (classification of lakes)<br />

Idea: to classify the large variety of natural water<br />

bodies to more simple and applicable units<br />

From individual water bodies to the idea of types:<br />

Lowland streams, Mountain streams …,<br />

Sandy streams, Gravel bed streams …<br />

Now essential <strong>part</strong> of the philosophy of the WFD<br />
