River Water Quality Monitoring 1990 to 2018 - Alkalinity

<div style='text-align: left;'><div><div><p><span>This table provides the raw data from river monitoring sites including Water Framework Directive monitoring sites. It should be noted that, as the data set is in its raw state, it cannot be used to provide a status without processing. The data set does not show Limits of Detection or Limit of Quantitation which would require a value to be treated as a half value for WFD calculation. In addition both altitude and alkalinity affect status calculations for some parameters. The data set may contain results which are erroneous due to typos, sampling error or contamination, such data points are usually several orders or magnitude above expected values.</span></p><p><span>This is the first in a series of water data sets being made available as Open Data. Other data sets remain available on request via [e-mail] </span></p><p><span>The European Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) has been transposed into Northern Ireland regulations through The Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2017. The Water (Amendment) (Northern Ireland) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ensures that the Water Framework Directive (WFD) (as transposed) and the various supporting pieces of water legislation continue to operate here after 1 January 2021. The regulation encourage the active involvement of interested parties and the general public.</span></p><p><span>The regulations set out the requirement to achieve 'Good Ecological Status' and 'Good Chemical Status' for all ground and surface waters (rivers, lakes, transitional waters, and coastal waters) within Northern Ireland.</span></p><ul><li><p><span>Surface waters are assessed according to the following criteria:</span></p></li><li><p><span>Biological quality (fish, invertebrates, flora)</span></p></li><li><p><span>Hydromorphological</span></p></li><li><p><span>Physico-chemical properties like temperature, oxygenation and nutrient conditions.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Chemical quality assessed against environmental quality standards for specific pollutants and priority substances.</span></p></li></ul><p><span>The following physio-chemical and chemical parameters are included in the data set:</span></p><ul><li><p><span>ALK (mg/l)</span><span>- </span><span>Alkalinity</span></p><p></p></li></ul><p></p></div></div></div>本表格收录了河流监测站点的原始监测数据，其中包括水框架指令（Water Framework Directive）监测站点数据。需注意，本数据集处于未处理的原始状态，未经处理无法直接用于水环境状态评估。该数据集未包含检测限与定量限信息，而此类限值在水框架指令的计算中需以半值形式进行处理。此外，海拔与碱度会对部分参数的状态计算产生影响。本数据集可能存在因录入笔误、采样误差或污染导致的异常结果，此类数据点通常较预期数值高出数个数量级。 本数据集为首批以开放数据形式发布的水环境系列数据集之一，其余数据集可通过邮箱[e-mail]申请获取。 欧盟《水框架指令（2000/60/EC）》已通过《水环境（水框架指令）条例（北爱尔兰）2017》转化为北爱尔兰本地法规。《水（修正案）（北爱尔兰）（欧盟脱欧）条例2019》确保了经本地化转化的水框架指令（WFD）及各类配套水环境法规在2021年1月1日后仍可在北爱尔兰境内有效施行。该条例鼓励利益相关方与公众积极参与相关工作。 该条例明确要求，北爱尔兰境内所有地下水及地表水（涵盖河流、湖泊、过渡水域及近岸海域）均需达成"良好生态状态"与"良好化学状态"。 地表水的评估依据以下标准： - 生物质量（鱼类、无脊椎动物、水生植物） - 水文形态学指标 - 物理化学属性，包括温度、溶氧及营养盐条件 - 化学质量，依据特定污染物及优先污染物的环境质量标准进行评估 本数据集包含以下物理化学及化学参数： - ALK（mg/l）——碱度（Alkalinity）
