Environmental variables over a 5-year sampling period in a glacier-fed stream used for hydropower generation (South Tyrol, Italy)

In connection to a stream benthic macroinvertebrates survey (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.922485) a set of environmental variables was measured (as spot-measurement) during the macroinvertebrate samplings: suspended solids (mL/L); specific conductance at 25° C (mS/cm), water temperature (°C), calculation of the bottom component of the Pfankuch index.Whilst only in 2018 turbidity (NFU) was measured instead of suspended solids, and all the measurements were conducted using a multiparameter meter (HI9829, Hanna Instruments), for all the remaining years suspended solids were measured after 30 minutes of water sedimentation in a Imhoff cone, and specific conductance through a portable conductimeter (Cond 7, XS Instruments).
