Bestimmung der hydromorphologischen Qualität von kleinen und mittleren Fließgewässern

The monitoring of water bodies is an essential element of the European Water Framework Directive passed in the year 2000. The BOOT-Monitoring project establishes an integrated approach utilizing data acquired by a measurement system mounted on a boat and the results of the analysis of remote sensing data to facilitate a comprehensive evaluation of the hydromorphological quality of smalland medium-sized rivers. In this context the project focuses on the application and evaluation of existing methods as well as the development of new methods and algorithms.
