Sammendrag
This is the final report from output 1 of the IWRM project 2015-2024. The goal of the project was to implement a classification
system for the ecological status of rivers and lakes in Myanmar like the EU Water Framework Directive. As the project was ended
in 2021 due to the military coup in Myanmar, planned activities could not be finished. This report presents a summary of the
ecological surveys and ecological status assessments in selected water bodies in Myanmar achieved within the project. The report
should be read in conjunction with the other comprehensive publications from the project. Although the current political situation
in Myanmar put a halt to our activities, the reports and scientific papers comprised in this project, in addition to transferred
knowledge about freshwater ecology to selected staff and to one PhD student from Myanmar, have led to a set of
recommendations that hopefully will be an impetus for future river and lake biomonitoring in Myanmar. As knowledge about the
ecology of most of the many water bodies in Myanmar is still poor a much bigger number of freshwater ecologists need to be
educated to achieve the goal of classifying their status and to find solutions for their improvement.
