Westcountry demonstrator water quality monitoring data for R. Axe and R, Camel Catchments - July 2022 to December 2024

TransformAr Westcountry Demonstrator Water Quality Monitoring. This data set includes water quality monitoring data for the River Axe (Devon, UK) and River Camel (Cornwall , UK). Catchment water quality monitoring supports the development (design, site selection, performance) of Nature Based Solutions to mitigate nutrient loadings in vulnerable Nutrient Neutrality catchments. This data set includes primarily pre-intervention monitoring data with any post intervention measurements clearly marked. Several types of data included: Westcountry WQ monitoring data for Axe and Camel Catchments (TransformAr).xls 1. Westcountry Rivers Trust in-house monthly spot monitoring: This high specification field-data provides both catchment scale monitoring and targeted monitoring at NBS intervention sites. Equipment used includes: Equipment used: Hach DR900 Robust portable datalogging colourimeter: Hach Pocket pro+ Multi 2 Tester Data storage Platform: Cartographer 2. Westcountry Citizen Science Investigations: Volunteers use simple low-cost equipment to record quantitative and semi-quantitative information on temperature, electrical conductivity, turbidity and phosphate (semi-quantitative). Despite the lower accuracy of the equipment, these data provide a valuable baseline and excellent spatial coverage of our target catchmments.

UK Environment Agency statutory monitoring data is included where relevant to add a valuable comparative data set.

Electric fishing uses a controlled electric current to induce fish to swim towards an anode and into a hand net to be counted and assessed. When carried out correctly by a qualified surveyor it is not harmful to fish. An electric fishing backpack is used as the best method to target salmonoids in the Westcountry.
