About
Detailed measurements of water quality sampling activities spanning the start of 2025. The data documents an extensive range of determinands across varied concentration levels. It is highly useful for environmental monitoring, regulatory compliance assessment, pollution analysis, and training machine learning models geared toward water quality prediction. The primary source material is derived from sampling locations identified as rivers and running surface water, with ammonia levels highlighted as a key monitored parameter within the collection.
Columns
sample.samplingPoint.notation: Unique identifier for each sampling point.sample.samplingPoint.label: Name of the sampling location (e.g., RIVER GOWY AT GOWY BRIDGE STANNEY).sample.sampleDateTime: Time when the sample was collected.determinand.label: The specific type of substance or factor being measured (e.g., Ammonia(N), Temp Water).determinand.definition: Description of the measured determinand (e.g., Ammoniacal Nitrogen as N, Temperature of Water).determinand.notation: Indicates the numerical range of the determinand values observed.result: The measured value of the determinand in the specific sample.determinand.unit.label: The unit used for measurement, such as mg/l or cel (Celsius).sample.sampledMaterialType.label: Specifies the nature of the water source, with the majority being RIVER / RUNNING SURFACE WATER.sample.isComplianceSample: A boolean flag indicating whether the sample was collected specifically for compliance monitoring.sample.purpose.label: The stated reason for sampling, including MONITORING (NATIONAL AGENCY POLICY) and ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING STATUTORY (EU DIRECTIVES).sample.samplingPoint.easting: The Easting coordinate for the sampling point.sample.samplingPoint.northing: The Northing coordinate for the sampling point.
Distribution
The information is available in a CSV file format (
water_quality.csv) and is approximately 16.18 MB in size. The collection contains over 81,000 distinct samples across 13 columns. Data quality is rated highly (10.00), with all records reported as 100% valid and containing no missing or mismatched entries across the listed columns. Updates to this product are anticipated on a quarterly basis.Usage
This resource is suited for several key applications:
- Conducting environmental monitoring and tracking the status of natural water bodies.
- Performing regulatory compliance assessments against established water quality standards.
- Analysing pollution sources, particularly regarding parameters like ammonia.
- Developing and training machine learning models aimed at predicting future water quality metrics.
Coverage
Time Range: The sampling period covers early 2025, specifically spanning from 2 January 2025 through to 6 February 2025.
Geographic Scope: Sampling points are geo-located using Easting and Northing coordinates, with Easting values ranging from 139k to 652k and Northing values ranging from 2 to 658k.
Data Scope: The collection features 355 unique determinands measured. The most frequently sampled material type is river/running surface water, accounting for 81% of records. Approximately 7% of samples were taken specifically for compliance purposes.
