Hydro morphological assessment of the Porubka river

Abstract

Results of monitoring hydromorphological assessment of the Porubka watercourse, use the method HEM - Hydroecological monitoring, are presented in this article. HEM is based of the evaluation not only of main stream, as morphology and hydrology parameters, but of the same evaluation flood plain. The ecological status of river ecosystems is usually evaluated following hydromorphological features of riverbed, flow regime and river continuity, and was applied for the effect of proposed restoration measures. Ecohydrological quality by the method HEM classes was established from 1 (high) to 5 (bad), characterizing the state of the water course.
