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...
INCA-P (Integrated Catchments Model - Phosphorus dynamics)
INCA-P operates at a daily time step, tracking the stores and fluxes of water, sediment, dissolved and particulate P 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...
Pesticide Usage Survey (1986 -2015)
This survey by Fera is commissioned to conduct agricultural, horticultural and amenity pesticide usage surveys by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) of the Health and Safety Executive. The reports have many important uses such as informing pesticide risk assessment...
SEPA Effluent Monitoring Sites
Dataset of 2160 effluent monitoring sites in Scotland monitored by SEPA for a variety of purposes. The dataset consists of site locations (on land or at sea) in British National Grid or Lat/Long WGS84, describing aspects of each site and the monitoring activity including:...
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...
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...
Land Cover Map 2000 (1km percentage target class, GB)
This dataset consists of a 1km resolution raster version of the Land Cover Map 2000 for Great Britain. The raster consists of 27 bands. Within each band, each 1km pixel represents a percentage cover value for one of 27 target (or 'sub') classes, roughly representing...

1:250,000 Soils of Scotland
This dataset is the digital (vector) version of the Soils of Scotland 1:250,000 maps, which is a generalised soil map, partly derived from a 1:50,000 map of the soils of Scotland. This dataset is an inventory of the soils of Scotland and was intended for use by planners,...
Land Cover Map 2007 (25m raster, GB) v1.2
This dataset consists of a 25m resolution raster version of the Land Cover Map 2007 for Great Britain. Each 25m pixel represents a 25m area of land cover target class, broadly representing Broad Habitats (see below). The dataset is part of a series of data products...

SAGIS (Source Apportionment GIS)
SAGIS was developed for UKWIR, with support from the Environment Agency, SEPA and Natural England, to analyse sources of chemicals at the river basin scale and identify measures to improve river, lake and estuary water quality. National data on the source of chemicals...
SEPA Waste Monitoring sites
Dataset of 88 waste 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: medium (liquid waste,...
National Soil Inventory of Scotland (1978 - 1988)
The National Soils Inventory for Scotland (NSIS) dataset presented here has been collected using sampling points arranged as a 10 km grid. A wide range of attributes are described, measured and analysed for each site. These range from contextual information describing...
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),...

High resolution water quality samples during storm events (2010-2014) [Wensum DTC]
Continuous measures of hydrochemical parameters of storm water from the Wensum Demonstration Test Catchment, in Norfolk, recorded between 2010 and 2014. Automatic ISCO samplers installed at 7 sites (aka monitoring kiosk A, B, C, D, E, F, M) in this catchment are triggered...
Integrated Hydrological Units of the United Kingdom: Groups
This dataset is part of Integrated Hydrological Units (IHU) of the UK, a set of geographical reference units for hydrological purposes including river flow measurement and hydrometric data collection. Groups represent the intermediate units of IHU in terms of spatial...
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...
EA Riparian shade map
Relative shade of rivers. The relative shade is based on the amount of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area in a given time (i.e. insolation); the higher the insolation, the less shade. Riparian shade map is a national data set but do not have full...
Land Cover Map 2007 (1km percentage aggregate 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 10 bands. Within each band, each 1km pixel represents a percentage cover value for one of 10 aggregate classes. The aggregate classes are aggregations...

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)...
Environment Agency Water Quality Archive data for England (2000 onwards)
The Water Quality Archive provides data on water quality measurements taken from sampling points around England and then analysed to measure aspects of the water quality and / or the environment at that point. This record is for the Water quality data archive homepage...
