Water quality data for the River Frome catchment, Dorset, 1976-2022
This dataset is a compilation of water quality data for the River Frome catchment, Dorset, UK. The data have been sourced from the Environment Agency and from Wessex Water Ltd., the water utility company for the catchment area. The monitoring sites are specifically located in the lower part of the River Frome, between the Environment Agency gauging stations at Dorchester and East Stoke. The dataset includes water quality measurements for boreholes, sewage treatment work (STW) final effluents, tributaries, and main river channels. In total there are 21 monitoring sites. Water quality measurements date from 1976 to 2022. The main river channel and tributary sites are typically monitored on a monthly basis and the STW final effluents typically on a weekly basis. The borehole data can vary from weekly to monthly, depending on the determinand and borehole measured. Full details about this dataset can be found at

- Statement
- The data were downloaded from Environment Agency or Wessex Water data archives, or received upon request, and collated into one dataset. Given the length of the dataset and its multiple sources, the author checked to see if there were any obvious step changes in the data that would indicate a change in analytical method for any of the determinands measured. None were found. The data were cleaned and refined to the monitoring sites and determinands of interest. Determinands and monitoring sites with little data were also removed.
