Abstract

This project (WFD60) forms part of the UK Strategy for the implementation of the EC Water Framework Directive (WFD: European Union, 2000). Within its broad remit the WFD requires the development of ecological classification tools for the purpose of determining ecological status, with reference to specific environmental pressures. The WFD requires that these tools should assign lakes to one of five categories, (High, Good, Moderate, Poor, Bad) to indicate conditions relative to what is considered to be “good status”. This report focuses on the development of a tool with which to determine the extent of the pressure of acidification on lake macroinvertebrate communities.
