ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
ICMeasy is based on the results of the EC cofunded
project STAR (“Standardisation of River
Classifications: Framework method for calibrating
different biological survey results against ecological
quality classifications to be developed for the Water
Framework Directive” - EC Contract number: EVK1-
CT 2001-00089) and was realized in the context of
the EU co-funded project REBECCA ("Relationships
between ecological and chemical status of surface
waters" - EC Contract number: SSPI-CT-2003-
502158). External support was provided from the
Italian National Environment Protection Agency
(APAT).
