Faecal indicator data from lakes in Greater Glasgow, Cumbria, and Norfolk, UK, 2016-2017
This data collection two data resources.
The first contains information about water quality based on faecal indicators at eighteen lakes in each of three lake districts:
- Greater Glasgow conurbation, Scotland
- Cumbria, NW England
- Norfolk, E England.
The data were collected to investigate the fine scale connectivity between Faecal Indicator Organisms (FIO) densities within water bodies and diffuse and point source inputs from the adjacent catchment and from biological vectors. They also provide an indication of the relative sources of variation in reported concentrations that is relevant for environmental regulatory purposes.
The second data resource contains information about water quality based on faecal indicators at 15 lakes in the Greater Glasgow conurbation, Scotland. The data resource also contains contextual information about water quality, water bird densities, and land cover in different buffer sizes is also provided for each lake. The data were collected to investigate how connectivity and stressors interact to determine biodiversity and ecosystem function in freshwaters.
The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council grant NE/N006437/1 (Hydroscape: connectivity x stressor interactions in freshwater habitats)
