BS EN 16772 provides guidance on methods for sampling invertebrates in the hyporheic zone of wadable rivers.
BS EN 16772 describes each method, including details of the equipment involved and its use in the field. Guidance is given on developing a sampling strategy and selecting an appropriate survey technique for the purpose of investigation.
NOTE Benthic macroinvertebrate sampling is covered by other published standards. Selected literature with references in support of this document is given in the Bibliography.
BS EN 16772 on water quality is relevant to:
The hyporheic zone is defined as the spatiotemporally dynamic ecotone between the surficial benthic substrate and the underlying aquifer.
BS EN 16772 provides methods for sampling invertebrates in the hyporheic zone of river for the analysis and handling of environmental water samples and for the provision of quality assurance regarding that consumption.
BS EN 16772 specifies ways to conduct cleaning maintenance, transportation, and how to collect samples from inland waters.
BS EN 16772 details the procedures for sampling natural and man-made lakes, and also provides guidelines for the collection, handling, and preservation of water samples.
Overall, by removing toxins in water and making a sustainable habitat through BS EN 16772, you will be able to improve the water quality, saving the habitat, and environment.
