8. River health assessment methodology
河流健康评估方法
Underlying philosophy 基本原理
1. River health is important 河流健康很重要
2. River health is much more than the quality of the water河
流健康不仅仅包括水质达标
3. Biological indicators can be more sensitive to changes in
river condition生物指标更易于反映河流健康状况
4. Biological monitoring programs can provide valuable
support to management生物监测可以为流域管理者提供
有价值的帮助
5. Monitoring should focus on assets of importance监测范
围应该集中在重要的河流资产
9. River health assessment methodology
河流健康评估方法
Objective 目标
• Ability to compare sites against each over 不同评估地
点之间存在可比性
• Understand likely cause of changes in river health 理解
影响河流健康的因素
• Assess effectiveness of management responses评估管
理效率
• Report on river health提供河流健康报告
10. River health assessment methodology
河流健康评估方法
Key issues 主要问题
• What to measure? 需要评估的内容
– Many indicators available: which are relevant? 有许
多不同的指标可供评估,应当选取哪种?
• What do the results mean? 评估结果的意义
– What is a good score, what is a bad score? 何为优良
的评估结果?何为不达标的评估结果?
• How to use the results? 如何应用评估结果

19. Weighting indicator scores指标分数加权
Freq.
All sites – all years,所有点,所有年
(# obs.),监测频率
Standard to achieve values
Reference sites Single site, 达到规定值的标准
– all years,参考点,所有年 – report year,单
50th 个点,报告当年
%’ile 95th %’ile
80th %’ile
1 0
Concentration,浓度
(reference),参考点 (worst case),最差
Convert all values to common scale to allow comparison把所有数值转
化为通用量表使其具有可比性
Compare values against:结果比较
- other sites in study; other studies 与其他点进行比较,与其他研究结
果进行比较
- national standards; international standards国家标准,国际标准
