I refer to both lotic and lentic waters in Europe.
I am particularly interested in bog/peatland classification.
Comprehensive volume describes how ecosystem services-based approaches can assist in addressing major global and regional water challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and water security in the developing world, by integrating scientific knowledge from different disciplines, such as hydrological modelling and environmental economics. As well as consolidating current thinking, the book also takes a more innovative approach to these challenges, involving disciplines such as psychology and international law. Empirical assessments at the national, catchment, and regional levels are used to critically appraise this systemic approach, and the merits and potential limitations are presented. The practicalities of this approach with regard to water resources management, nature conservation, and sustainable business practices are discussed, and the role of society in underpinning the concept of ecosystem services is explored. Presenting new insights and perspectives on how to shape future strategies, this contributory volume is a valuable reference for researchers, academics, students, and policy makers, in environmental studies, hydrology, water resource management, ecology, environmental law, policy and economics, and conservation biology.

We use the EUNIS classifuication system which has the advantage that it is standardised across Europe and is hierarchical, so you can use it at as fine a resolution as you need. Bogs come under 'D'.
