hmwbPhysicalAlteration - Conditional.(HMWBPhysicalAlteration_Enum)

For HMWBs only, report the physical alteration that has resulted in the designation of the surface water body as a HMWB. In the context of designation, physical alterations mean any significant alterations that have resulted in substantial changes to the hydromorphology of a surface water body such that the surface water body is substantially changed in character. In general, these hydromorphological characteristics are long-term and alter both the morphological and hydrological characteristics. Further guidance on the terms is found in the Glossary section below.

    It is a conditional element: only for HMWBs. A new Quality check should be included to prevent reporting this element when the condition is not fulfilled (the WB is not a HMWB)

    We have detected a lot of inconsistencies regarding this issue

    There should be a QA cross check for HMWB: if there is a hmwbPhysicalAlteration then there should be a swsignificantpressureType: 4.1.1 – 4.5 and a swsignificantimpactType: HHYC or HMOC

      Cannot agree with IT. A HMWB has at least one category of Physical Alteration but does not mean that has also a swsignificantpressureType 4.1.1 – 4.5) and or a swsignificantimpactType: HHYC or HMOC, because the Guidance indicated that these two should be related to the status class of the WB (3,4,5) and not necessary to a physical alteration of HMWB (see also the explanations in the Reporting guidance for Schema elements: swSignificantImpactType and swSignificantPressureType).
