About
This dataset details ammonium ion concentration in river water, specifically focusing on the Southern Bug River in Ukraine. It compiles monitoring data from eight consecutive stations that are part of the state water monitoring system. The primary objective of the dataset is to facilitate the prediction of ammonium levels at a designated target station using readings from seven upstream stations. This resource is valuable for understanding water quality dynamics and supporting environmental monitoring efforts. The maximum permissible ammonium concentration in Ukraine is established at 0.5 mg/cub. dm.
Columns
- Id: A unique identifier for each monthly averaged data record.
- target: Monthly averaged ammonium nitrogen (NH4) concentration values at the target monitoring station, expressed in milligrams per cubic decimetre (mg/cub. dm).
- 1-7: Monthly averaged ammonium nitrogen (NH4) concentration values from monitoring stations 1 through 7, which are situated upstream from the target station. Measurements are in milligrams per cubic decimetre (mg/cub. dm).
- ID_Station: An identifier for the specific monitoring station.
- Date: The date on which the data was collected.
- NH4: Ammonium nitrogen concentration, measured in milligrams per litre (mg/l).
- Distance: The distance in kilometres from the monitoring station to the source of the river.
Distribution
The dataset is available in CSV format, with a file such as
PB_1996_2019_NH4.csv having a size of 83.63 kB and containing 4 columns. Data points are recorded either monthly or quarterly. The length of observational series varies across different monitoring stations, ranging from approximately 4 to 20 years. One part of the dataset contains state monitoring data for ammonium nitrogen in the upper 200 km of the Southern Bug River, spanning the period from 1996 to 2019. Another component is divided into training and test subsets, where the test data intentionally excludes the target column to support prediction competitions. While the precise total number of rows or records for the entire dataset is not explicitly stated, it covers a substantial timeframe.Usage
This dataset is ideally suited for:
- Conducting detailed data dependency analysis, including exploratory data analysis (EDA).
- Developing and validating models for predicting water quality, with a particular focus on achieving high accuracy in estimating target ammonium concentrations.
- Analysing the distinct influence of the first two stations (those closest to the target) and the subsequent five stations on prediction accuracy.
Coverage
The geographic scope of the dataset covers water quality measurements taken in the upper 200 kilometres of the Southern Bug River, located within Ukraine. The temporal coverage for observations extends from 1996 to 2019. Observation periods for individual monitoring stations are varied, with data available for durations from around 4 to 20 years.
