| Description | The project ARROW (Assessment and Reference Reports of Water monitoring - http://www.cba.muni.cz/arrow/eng) is focused on the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive in the monitoring of surface waters of the Czech Republic. The project incorporates both WFD EU demands and complex solution of sampling, biological, analytical and information and communication technology (ICT) problems. The integral part of the project is also the definition and calibration of reference network of sites. The project is based on long term development of this field in the Czech Republic and is related to parallel project of Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic connected to environmental monitoring programs. The solution of the project binds many experts from both scientific and commercial institutions in this field. The focus of the presented paper is the data analysis and processing of data of biological communities in biomonitoring networks for the evaluation of the ecological state of the surface water. |
