High resolution water quality, hydrology and ecological monitoring data from the Hampshire Avon and Tamar (2011 - 2014) [DTC project]
High resolution datasets of ecological, hydrological and water quality monitoring at approx. 11 sites across the Hampshire Avon and Tamar Defra Test Catchment (DTC) sites between 2011 and 2014, for monitoring and assessing the effects of on-farm interventions on water...
Hourly physical and nutrient monitoring data for the River Enborne, Berkshire (2009-2012)
This data set comprises of hourly physical and nutrient monitoring data of the River Enborne near Brimpton (National grid reference SU568648), from November 2009 to February 2012. Parameters measured are total reactive phosphorus, nitrate, conductivity, temperature,...

EA Historic UK Water Quality Sampling Harmonised Monitoring Scheme Summary Data
The Historic UK Water Quality Sampling Harmonised Monitoring Scheme (HMS) data contains statistics for a series of water quality sampling sites including annual means, maximum and minimum values for each Region for specified determinands from 1975 onwards. The sampling...
Field measurements of alkalinity, chloride-ion, conductivity, pH and nutrients in rivers (2003-2006) [LOCAR]
River water alkalinity, chloride-ion, conductivity, pH and nutrients data from the Frome Piddle; Pang Lambourn and Tern catchments, recorded between 2003 and 2006. River water samples were collected fortnightly at twenty three sites within these catchments and analysed...
Case Study 6: Effects of input data quality and quantity on evaluation of land management policies and agri-environment interventions at catchment to national scales.
This case study examines the sensitivity / uncertainty in outputs of models at various scales resulting from differences or uncertainties in models and input driving data. Three cases will be considered: A) uncertainties arising from the model structure being used;...
INCA-N (Integrated Catchments Model - Nitrogen dynamics)
INCA-N operates at a daily time step, tracking the stores and fluxes of water, nitrate and ammonium in both the land and in-stream phases of a river catchment. The model is spatially ‘semi-distributed’: the water course is split into reaches with associated sub-catchments....
Discharge and water chemistry measurements from Tarland Burn at Coull (Scotland) (2000-2010)
Mean daily flow and water chemistry data collected from the Tarland Burn, recorded between 2000-2010. Water chemistry determinands measured include: total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), total phosphorous (TP), particulate phosphorus (PP),...
Case Study 3: Costs and benefits of mitigation measures to reduce pollutant concentrations for the protection of drinking water in river-systems upstream of intakes.
Using the water quality models, SAGIS-SIMCAT and SWAT, a reduction in the risk of exceeding drinking water quality standards at a water treatment works intake was shown for nutrients and metaldehyde as a result of introducing farm measures. The costs of these measures...
British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (1992-2015)
The British Survey of Fertiliser Practice (BSFP) is an annual survey based on the selection each year of a representative sample (c1500) of farms from mainland Britain. The survey is the primary source of information regarding the application of organic and inorganic...
Field measurements of alkalinity, chloride-ion, conductivity, pH and nutrients in rainwater (2004-2006) [LOCAR]
Rainwater alkalinity, chloride-ion, conductivity, pH and nutrients data from the Frome Piddle; Pang Lambourn and Tern catchments, recorded between 2004 and 2006. Rainwater samples were collected fortnightly at seven sites in these catchments and analysed for Alkalinity...
LUCI (Land Utilisation & Capability Indicator)
LUCI explores the capability of a landscape to provide a variety of ecosystem services, such as agricultural production, flood and diffuse pollutant mitigation, carbon sequestration, habitat provision etc. The model is a second generation extension and accompanying...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Source apportionment of nutrient contributions to rivers in England and Wales modelled with SAGIS
Estimates of in-river concentrations (mg/l) and loads (kg/day) of nutrients to rivers in England and Wales from multiple sector sources, modelled with SAGIS (Source Apportionment GIS). The nutrients include nitrate (mg/l N) and ortho-phosphate (mg/l P); the estimate...

Non-agricultural pollution to rivers in Scotland
Estimates of annual loads of phosphorus, sediment, nitrogen and faecal coliform from non-agricultural sources to rivers in Scotland, reported at Water Framework Directive (WFD) catchment scale. The sources of pollutants include: urban, woodland, montane areas, river...
