Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted
by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Amendment may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to ISO 772:1996 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 113, Hydrometric determinations,
Subcommittee SC 3, Terminology and symbols.
Amendment 1 to ISO 772:1996 gives additional English terms and definitions, used in the field of hydrometric
determinations, to the terms and definitions included in ISO 772:1996.

1 General terms
Page 22, clause 1
At the end of clause 1, General terms, add the following terms and definitions.
1.146
hydrometry
science of the measurement of water including the methods, techniques and instrumentation used
NOTE The adjective is “hydrometric”.
1.147
hydrological cycle
constant movement of water above, on and below the earth’s surface
1.148
hydrogeology
study of subsurface water in its geological context
1.149
hydraulic gradient
change in static head per unit distance in a given direction
1.150
static head

SIST EN ISO 772:2002/A1:2004
ISO 772:1996/Amd.1:2002(E)
1.155
live storage
reservoir storage which can be drawn off for users downstream
1.156
total storage
reservoir storage between the lowest bed level and the top water level
1.157
flood storage
volume of water temporarily held above the top water level of a reservoir during a flood event
NOTE Flood storage is not retained in the reservoir but is discharged through an overflow until the normal top water
level is reached.
1.158
boundary condition
condition to be satisfied by a dependent variable of a differential equation along the boundary of a model
domain
NOTE Boundary conditions for the dependent variables are specified at the physical extremities of the modelled region
for the duration of the model application.
1.159
Courant condition
condition for the numerical stability of the explicit formulation of a numerical scheme which requires that the
ratio (C ) of the propagation speed of a physical disturbance to that of a numerical signal should not exceed
r
unity, i.e. C u 1
r
NOTE The condition is a requirement for an explicit-finite difference formulation applied to a hyperbolic partial
differential equation.
1.160
explicit finite-difference numerical scheme
scheme which converts either the characteristic equation or the governing equation into an equation from
which any unknown may be evaluated directly (explicitly) without an iterative computation
NOTE 1 Dependent variables on the advanced time level are determined one point at a time from known values and
conditions at the present or previous time levels.
NOTE 2 The stability of an explicit scheme is conditional upon an error being a function of the time and distance finite-
difference step sizes which may result in an error growing as the solution progresses.
NOTE 3 When the Courant condition is met, resulting in limitations in the maximum time and distance steps which can be
used, generally an explicit scheme is stable, but there can be instances of instability.
NOTE 4 If the converted equation is linear and algebraic, an iterative computation is not needed.
1.161
implicit finite-difference numerical scheme
scheme which converts either the characteristic equation or the governing equation into a nonlinear algebraic
equation from which an unknown may be evaluated iteratively
NOTE 1 All of the unknowns within the model domain are determined simultaneously.
NOTE 2 Generally an implicit scheme is stable.
NOTE 3 Although complex algorithms are required, generally an implicit scheme is computationally sufficient.
1.162
initial condition
description of the discharge, depth of flow or other dynamic condition at the beginning of a simulation period
for unsteady flow models
NOTE For subsequent times, the state of the system is described by the governing equations and the boundary
conditions.

1.163
method of characteristics
mathematical approach for solving boundary values by transforming the original partial differential equations
representing the physical system into corresponding characteristic equations
NOTE Characteristic equations are ordinary differential equations and, generally, are more amenable to numerical
solution than are the partial differential equations.
1.164
momentum coefficient
Boussinesq coefficient
quantification of the deviation of the velocity at any point in a cross-section from a uniform velocity distribution
in the same cross-section
NOTE Values of the coefficient:
a) unity indicates that a uniform velocity distribution is present in the cross-section;
b) 1,01 to 1,12 indicates a fairly straight prismatic channel;
c) < 1,0 indicates a large or deep channel.
1.165
standing wave
stationary wave
curved symmetrically-shaped wave on the water surface, and on the channel bed, that is virtually stationary
NOTE When standing waves form, the water surface and the bed surfaces are roughly parallel and in phase.
1.166

1.167
photomultiplier
electronic device for amplifying and converting light pulses into measurable electrical signals

2.61
divergence of tidal conditions
angular deviation in degrees between the flow axis of the ebb current and of the flood current, at a point where
the axes cross
NOTE In a straight ideal reach, there will be no deviation. In most cases, when conditions are not ideal, the ebb and the
flood directions are not on the same axis and there will be an angular deviation.
2.62
mixed tides
tides which have at least two markedly unequal successive high waters, or at least two markedly unequal
successive low waters, or both
2.63
ebb predominance
situation where the ebb flow exceeds the flood flow, over a tidal cycle, at a point or on a vertical

2.64
flood predominance
situation where the flood flow exceeds the ebb flow, over a tidal cycle, at a point or on the vertical
NOTE 1 Usually the extent of the predominance is assessed using integrations of velocity-time graphs.

Page 46, clause 4
Replace the term and definition entry 4.19 with the following:
4.19
becquerel
Bq
curie 〈superseded〉
−1
1 Bq= 1 s
NOTE 1 The becquerel is the special name for second to the power minus one, used as the SI unit of volumetric

AA=−exp λt
()
0
where
A is the activity at time t;

4.48
dead time of the counting apparatus
t
one of the following whichever is greater:

NOTE 1 It is related to the radiation detector count rate by the expression
N
m
N =
t 0
1− N t
m
where
N is the radiation detector count rate;
m
t is the dead time of the system;
N would be the count rate if the dead time were zero.
t0
This expression is only true where the total time the system is dead does not approach the real time limit.
NOTE 2 The dead time is not necessarily a constant for a detector, it can vary with the count rate and the type of radiation
being detected.
4.49

NOTE In a stream, generally dispersion takes place vertically in the water columns, transversely across the stream and
longitudinally in the direction of flow.
4.52
dispersion coefficient of a tracer
coefficient used to describe the capacity of a moving liquid to dissipate an initially localized substance or
property throughout the liquid
NOTE In open channel flow, dispersion takes place vertically, transversely and longitudinally. Each component of the
