Segama River suspended sediment concentration, conductivity, and pH data 1992-1994

Description

SummaryThe data set includes results from the daily water sampling at the river flow monitoring site and water level gauge on the left bank of the Segama River immediately upstream of the suspension footbridge at the Danum Valley Field Center for the period 01 Jan 1992 to 15 Sep 1994. Key variables include the date, time, water level on the gauge post (i.e, stage), suspended sediment concentration in mg l-1, conductivity and pH for each sample are listed.Notes for users1. The coordinate provided is only an approximate as no GPS coordinates were recorded during the sampling period.Contact PersonEmeritus Professor Ian Douglas ([e-mail])
