Field measurements of alkalinity, chloride-ion, conductivity, pH and nutrients in rivers (2003-2006) [LOCAR]

River water alkalinity, chloride-ion, conductivity, pH and nutrients data from the Frome Piddle; Pang Lambourn and Tern catchments, recorded between 2003 and 2006. River water samples were collected fortnightly at twenty three sites within these catchments and analysed for Alkalinity pH 4.5, Ammonia, Chloride-ion, Conductivity 20 deg C, Nitrate, pH, Phosphorus soluble reactive (SRP), Silicate reactive dissolved (SRD) and Sulphate. The samples were collected as part of the NERC funded Lowland Catchment Research (LOCAR) Programme to provide comparable baseline river water chemistry data across the LOCAR catchments.

Statement
A single sample from the main flow of the river was collected by the Catchment Service Team in that catchment and used to fill a number of bottles supplied by Thames Water Laboratory. Samples for pH and alkalinity readings were poured in a glass bottle. Samples for Phosphorus soluble reactive were filtered in the field. Unfiltered samples were used for the rest of determinands. Samples were then sent to Thames Water for analysis. They used the Seal discrete analyser to determine values for Alkalinity pH 4.5, Ammonia, Chloride-ion, Nitrate, Phosphorus soluble reactive (SRP), Silicate reactive dissolved (SRD) and Sulphate. pH and Conductivity probes were used for those two determinands. A duplicate and a QC sample were sent each week to Thames Water to compare results obtained by the laboratories. The data were quality controlled by Thames Water. A zip file containing box-and-whisker plots for each determinand, showing the range of values (median, inter-quartile range, 1.5 * inter-quartile range, outliers) recorded at each site is available to enable prospective users of the data to understand data quality.
