CEH Hydrology of Soil Types (HOST)
HOST is a hydrologically-based classification of the soils of the UK. 29 soil classes are grouped by hydrological properties, particularly their ability to transmit water both vertically and horizontally. The dominant HOST class and a percentage breakdown by HOST classes...
Modelled nitrogen and sulphur deposition grids for the UK for 2 vegetation types (2004-2014)
Vegetation-specific 3-year average deposition data for nitrogen and sulphur from 2004. The data are based on a spatial resolution of 5x5km. All deposition values are the sum of wet, dry and cloud deposition and are expressed in kiloequivalents per hectare per year....
Case Study 2: Effectiveness of land management policies and agri-environment interventions for reducing pollutant loads and maintaining environmental quality at the national scale.
The impacts of the suite of Countryside Stewardship options were reductions in national agricultural pollution of over 6% (nitrate) and 10% (phosphorus). Accounting for non-agricultural sources of pollution reduced the net overall impact of the options to 4% (nitrate)...
EA Surface Water Temperature Archive (1980 to 2007)
Water temperature data from over 30,000 sites across England and Wales collected by the Environment Agency for different reasons. The archive contains water temperature data (up to 2007) and site metadata. Most sites have records starting from the 1980s. The water temperature...
Climate hydrology and ecology research support system meteorology dataset for Great Britain (1961-2015) [CHESS-met] v1.2
1km resolution gridded meteorological variables over Great Britain for the years 1961-2015. This dataset contains time series of daily mean values of air temperature (K), specific humidity (kg kg-1), wind speed (m s-1), downward longwave radiation (W m-2), downward...

River Obstructions
Location of manmade barriers, mostly weirs, and natural features, such as waterfalls, on river courses in England and Wales. This dataset is known as "Potential Sites of Hydropower Opportunity" and has been created under the EA project "Opportunity and environmental...
NEXTMap Digital Terrain Model of Great Britain
5 metre resolution digital elevation model of Great Britain, available as a height model of the bare Earth surface (digital terrain model, DTM) and a height model of natural terrain features (digital surface model). The horizontal accuracy is +/- 2.5m on slopes less...
Defra Farm Practice Survey (2005-2015)
Annual government survey looking at how English farming practices are affected by current agricultural and environmental issues. The content of the survey is agreed each year in consultation with users to ensure the information collected remains relevant. Where there...
National River Flow Archive daily flow data
Daily mean river flow, a.k.a. gauged daily flows (GDF), measured at over 1500 points on the river network across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Most stations are managed by the Measuring Authorities (Environment Agency, Scottish Environmental Protection Agency,...
Monitoring of Pesticides and Trace Organics in Water in England and Wales (1992 - 2008)
This dataset contains information on all pesticides and trace organics monitored by the Environment Agency (covering England and Wales for this period). Monitoring frequency varies between sites and years. Monitoring covers fresh and saline surface waters, groundwater,...
Land Cover Map 2007 (1km percentage target class, GB) v1.2
This dataset consists of a 1km resolution raster version of the Land Cover Map 2007 for Great Britain. The raster consists of 23 bands. Within each band, each 1km pixel represents a percentage cover value for one of 23 target classes, broadly representing Broad Habitats...

SEPA Soil Monitoring sites
Dataset of 337 soil monitoring sites in Scotland measured by SEPA for a variety of purposes. The dataset consists of site locations in British National Grid or Lat/Long WGS84, describing aspects of each site and the monitoring activity including: purpose of the monitoring...
Land Cover Map 1990 (1km dominant target class, GB)
The Land Cover Map of Great Britain 1990 (1km dominant target class, GB), is a raster digital dataset, providing classification of land cover types into 25 classes, at a 1km resolution. The dataset consists of a 1km grid with a full set of the 25 target classes (or...
National Soil Map of England and Wales : NATMAP Vector
This dataset is a soil map of England and Wales at 1:250000 scale. NATMAP Vector shows the locations of the 297 distinct soil associations wherever they occur within the countries. Each soil associations has multiple soil series. This hierarchical data structure allows...
Geochemical Baseline Survery of the Environment for the UK [G-BASE]
Natural abundances of chemical elements in stream sediments, stream water and soil samples systematically collected since 1968. The average sample density for stream sediments and water is about one site per 1.5-2km square, and for soils one site per 2km square. The...
Standardised Annual Average Rainfall (1961-90) [SAAR 61-90]
Rainfall averages for UK over the 30-year 1961-1990, interpolated to a 1 km grid. This 30-year period is a Primary Reference Period recommended by World Meteorological Organisation.
EA Manual River Flow Measurements
