Data underlying the publication: Mismanaged plastic waste as a predictor for plastic pollution along the Odaw river

This database is the supplementary material for the scientific paper in preparation: Mismanaged plastic waste as a predictor for plastic pollution along the Odaw river. This database comprises of a one year field monitoring data (December 2021-December 2022) focusing on macroplastic transport and density in the Odaw catchment, Accra, Ghana. Data was collected across three environmental compartments (river, riverbank, and land) at 10 spatial points along the catchment. Anthropogenic variables such as population density and mismanaged plastic waste, as well as hydro meteorological variables including rainfall, wind speed, and discharge, were also quantified for analysis.<br>
