Statement

This data product was created by preprocessing and combining survey data of national extent collected by the Environment Agency (EA), such as freshwater macroinvertebrate survey data, water quality data, habitat quality metrics, and river flow; as well as datasets produced by UKCEH, such as the Land Cover Map 2015, CHESS-met air temperature, and estimated sewage effluent exposure. The spatial distribution of this product matches the spatial extent of the macroinvertebrate data. Its time stamps correspond to the dates of macroinvertebrate sampling. The completeness of this product is determined by the spatio-temporal availability of the data sources. Due to the different structures and file formats of the data sources, as well as the varied range of technical skills within our team, a range of file manipulation tools were used. However, the same data processing and data integration methodology was followed in all instances. This involved three steps: first, spatial matching of sampled locations along the river network; second, spatial integration of model-generated variables, including wastewater effluent, land cover, and air temperature; and third, temporal matching of environmental observations, such as water quality concentrations and river flow, along with modelled variables such as air temperature.
