Progress: ECODAT management tool
The ECODAT management tool comprises an analysis software and a taxa database for processing ecological river quality assessment. One only has to enter the taxalist of a given sampling site and the software will automatically produce ecological status calculations, which are the calculation of the HKHscreening, HKHbios and the HKHindex.
The ECODAT taxa database contains a catalogue of the benthic aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Hindu Kush – Himalaya region, including ecological information needed for data analysis.After the project completion the ECODAT management tool, including a manual will be freely downloadable from the ASSESS-HKH website.
