overview of the assessment process

A literature review, conducted during the initial phases of the project concluded that:

  • eutrophication calculations could be improved with more measurements of phytoplankton and oxygen
  • the global coverage of river discharge and or drainage area ranges from 40 to 67% for most major water quality attributes but drops to 25% for some organic and/or particulate forms of N and P
  • Consistency of fauna abundance data is badly lacking. There is an uneven quality of alien species distributional data
