About
Physico-chemical parameters of a polluted river located in Buenos Aires are detailed in this dataset, representing the collaborative work of three university researchers from Argentina. The research team extracted water samples from a widely known polluted river and analysed them in a chemistry laboratory. Each analytical procedure adhered to standardized methodologies outlined in Standard Methods, with measurements meticulously executed by professionals specialised in the field of chemistry. The data facilitates the analysis of water quality trends and environmental impact.
Columns
- Date (DD/MM/YYYY): The date on which the water sample was collected.
- Time (24 hrs XX:XX): The specific time of day the sample was taken.
- Sampling point: The geographic location of the sampling (e.g., Puente Bilbao, Arroyo_Las Torres).
- Ambient temperature (°C): The air temperature recorded at the moment of sampling.
- Ambient humidity: The humidity level recorded at the moment of sampling.
- Sample temperature (°C): The temperature of the water sample at the moment of physico-chemical analysis.
- pH: The acidity or alkalinity level of the water sample.
- EC(µS/cm): Electrical conductivity of the water.
- TDS(mg/L): Total Dissolved Solids measured in the sample.
- TSS(mL sed/L): Total Suspended Solids measured in the sample.
- DO(mg/L): Dissolved Oxygen levels in the water.
- Level (cm): The water level of the river at the time of sampling.
- Turbidity (NTU): A measure of the clarity of the liquid.
- Hardness(mg CaCO3/L): The concentration of calcium and magnesium in the water.
- Hardness classification: Classification of water hardness according to WHO standards (e.g., SEMIDURA, BLANDA).
- Total Cl-(mg Cl-/L): The total quantity of chloride present in the sample.
Distribution
The dataset is structured in a tabular format, specifically as a CSV file (River water parameters.csv), with a file size of approximately 20.18 kB. It contains 16 columns and approximately 219 valid records per column. The data quality is high, with most columns showing 100% validity and adhering to standard chemistry methods.
Usage
This dataset is designed to help analysts and researchers discern data patterns regarding water pollution. It can be used to forecast a specific parameter's value based on others, thereby simplifying laboratory efforts. Additionally, considering the dataset's temporal nature, it allows for the prediction of forthcoming values through time series analysis.
