Includes an inspection programme, the ways in which water areas are used and legislative aspects. Wetland and tidal areas are excluded.

This part of BS 7370 gives recommendations for grounds maintenance relating to water areas that are within or adjacent to the grounds.

This standard does not constitute a textbook on the ecological, recreational, design or engineering matters raised, but clauses 4 and 5 explain the ways in which water is used by humans, flora and fauna. This will assist in reconciling the often conflicting management and maintenance requirements of water and wetland areas, given in clause 6.

Reference is made to legislative aspects in annex B although this standard should not be taken as comprehensive or definitive in this regard.

This standard provides recommendations to enable a detailed inspection and maintenance schedule to be prepared for each site. It does not cover the maintenance of wetland or tidal areas.
