TOOLBOX ON IDENTIFICATION AND DESIGNATION OF ARTIFICIAL AND HEAVILY MODIFIED WATER BODIES

The HMWB etamp; AWB toolbox supports the HMWB guidance document with practical examples illustrating the different steps of the HMWB and AWB designation process. Its purpose is to make the HMWB and AWB guidance document more practical and illustrated, which is vital to its future use. The toolbox examples are mainly derived from the HMWB case studies; the examples have either been directly contributed by the Members of the Working Group (based on a common template) or they have been extracted by Ecologic (Institute for International and European Environmental Policy) from the HMWB case studies, as well as the HMWB synthesis report.
