Dataset description

This series is an amalgamation of all the river water quality data sets previously held on Data.Gov.UK (DGUK), thus consolidating all information about selected nutrients, heavy metals and other determinands entering into rivers in Great Britain in one location on DGUK. Data source is the Environment Agency (EA). The record includes the following datasets: Annual average concentrations of Nitrate and Orthophosphate by landscape type 1980 to 2011 - The Harmonised Monitoring Scheme Annual average concentrations of nitrates in selected groundwater sites experiencing elevated nitrate levels: 1980, 1990 - 2004 Average, highest and lowest mean concentrations of water quality. Nitrates by region: 1980 to 2011 Annual average, highest and lowest mean concentrations of orthophosphates by region Great Britain, 1980 to 2011. The Harmonised Monitoring Scheme Annual average concentrations of selected determinands of river water quality, by river location: 1980 to 2011 Distribution of annual site mean concentration of certain heavy metals in rivers: 1980 to 2011 Annual average, highest and lowest mean concentrations of water quality determinands by region for dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand (BOD), and Ammoniacal nitrogen - From the Harmonised Monitoring Scheme Biological river water quality: 1990-2009 A new measure of river water quality is being negotiated. Chemical river water quality: 1990-2009 This dataset has been superceded by the new Water Framework Directive. A new measure is being discussed. Nitrate concentrations in rivers: 1995-2008 A new measure is being negotiated Phosphate concentrations in rivers: 1995-2008

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
