Total alkalinity data from rivers [LOIS]
Discrete total alkalinity data for thirteen sites in the Humber catchment sampled within the period 1993 to 1997 and 1996 to 1997 and for three sites from the Tweed catchment over the period 1994 to 1997, as part of the Land Ocean Interaction Study project (LOIS). Sites...
Field measurements of major ions, phosphorus, nitrogen fractions, alkalinity and pH (2010-2015) [Wensum DTC]
Field measurements of major ions, phosphorus, nitrogen fractions, alkalinity and pH from the Wensum Demonstration Test Catchment, in Norfolk, measured between 2010 and 2015. Water samples are collected at 7 sites (aka monitoring kiosk A, B, C, D, E, F, M) in this catchment...
Case Study 1: Multiple pollutant and ecosystem services responses to land management policies and agri-environment interventions at the farm to catchment scale.
This case study examines potential trade-offs and co-benefits for a suite of ecosystem services at the farm to catchment scale that may be potential ‘by-products’ of an agri-environment scheme designed to reduce total multi-pollutant loads entering watercourses.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), chlorobenzenes (CB) and organochlorine pesticides (OC) data from rivers [LOIS]
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), chlorobenzenes (CB) and organochlorine pesticides (OC) data from river water collected at various sites within the Humber catchment area as part of the Land Ocean Interaction Study project (LOIS). Data were collected at regular weekly...
Conwy catchment - spatial water chemistry dataset
Surface water quality data for the Conwy catchment, North Wales are presented. The data cover stream and estuary survey locations sampled manually from 2007 to 2011 at varying intervals between fortnightly and quarterly. Survey locations were selected as draining the...

National River Flow Archive Catchment Boundaries
Catchment boundaries for all the National River Flow Archive (NRFA) gauging stations. The National River Flow Archive provides access to flow data for 1500 gauging stations across the UK, as well as information on the gauging stations and their catchments, including...
Continuous measuring of hydrochemical parameters (2010-2015) [Wensum DTC]
Continuous measures of hydrochemical parameters from the Wensum Demonstration Test Catchment, in Norfolk, recorded between 2010 and 2015. Monitoring equipment was installed at 7 sites (aka monitoring kiosk A, B, C, D, E, F, M) in this catchment to capture hydrochemical...
Major ion and nutrient data from rivers [LOIS]
Discrete data for major ions and nutrients in river water for 13 sites in the Humber catchment over the periods 1993 to 1997 and 1996 to 1997 and for 3 sites from the Tweed catchment over the period 1994 to 1997. Ions and nutrients measured were: Ammonia, Calcium (dissolved),...

Antiviral, antibiotics and decongestants in wastewater treatment plants and receiving rivers in the Thames catchment
This dataset contains the concentration of eleven antibiotics (trimethoprim, oxytetracycline, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, cefotaxime, doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin), three decongestants (naphazoline, oxymetazoline,...

Case Study 5: Uncertainty in ecological responses to water quality control measures at the river basin scale.
QUESTOR modelling shows that all the mitigation methods applied can reduce the amount of Chlorophyll-a predicted to occur in the river. The extent of the reduction is different depending on the data used to drive the QUESTOR model. The effect of increasing the shading...
Source apportionment of annual nutrient and sediment loads to rivers in England and Wales, from the SEPARATE framework
Estimates of discharged loads of nitrogen, phosphorous and fine-grained sediments to rivers in England and Wales from multiple sector sources, reported at Water Framework Directive catchment scale, from the SEctor Pollutant AppoRtionment for the AquaTic Environment...
SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool)
SWAT is the product of over 40 years of research and is subject to ongoing development. The model is designed to simulate the effects of changes in land management practices, land use and climate on surface water and groundwater quality and quantity, sediments, nutrients,...
Micro-organic herbicides data from rivers [LOIS]
Micro-organic herbicide levels in river water for various sites within the Humber and Tweed catchments collected as part of the Land Ocean Interaction Study project (LOIS). The dataset contains data for Phenyl urea and Phenoxy acid herbicides, measured as 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic...
FARMSCOPER (Farm Scale Optimisation of Pollutant Emission Reductions)
Farmscoper is a decision support tool that allows an assessment of the cost and effectiveness of agricultural mitigation methods on multiple pollutants. It incorporates meta-models of a number of different pollutant models which have previously been used for government...
SEPARATE (SEctor Pollutant AppoRtionment for the AquaTic Environment)
National scale nutrient and sediment source apportionment screening tool for England and Wales developed originally as part of Defra project WQ0223 (Developing a field toolkit for ecological targeting of agricultural diffuse pollution mitigation measures). SEPARATE...
High resolution water quality, hydrological and ecological monitoring in the river Eden catchment (2011 - 2015) [DTC project]
The River Eden Demonstration Test Catchment (EdenDTC) monitored water quality, hydrology and ecology across 3 sub-catchments to assess the effectiveness of diffuse pollution mitigation measures. The focus areas are in the Thackthwaite, Newby and Pow catchments. Each...
Continuous measurements of meteorological parameters (2002-2006) [LOCAR]
Continuous measurements of meteorological parameters from the Frome Piddle; Pang Lambourn and Tern catchments, recorded between 2002 and 2006. Automatic weather stations were installed at 7 sites in these catchments to record hourly values of soil heat flux, relative...
