Dataset Description:

A comparison of a natural and a reconstructed side-arm during different phases of hydrological connectivity in the lower Waikato River. This data set investigates the nutrient and suspended solid dynamics in order to compare each side arm with the river, and any occurring patterns within the side-arm longitudinally.

LERNZdb quality rating: 1
Factors that positively contribute towards the rating:
  • All potential datapoints have a value.
  • All variables belong to the chosen category.
  • All variables are known to LERNZdb.
  • The timestamp information is complete.
  • All datapoints have a unit.
  • All datapoints are measured in their preferred unit.
  • More than 50% of the expected QC information is present.
  • More than 80% of the expected QC information is present.
Factors that stand in the way of a higher rating:
  • Invalid or missing geo coordinate information (All coordinates must be in WGS84 decimal degrees and must be located in NZ (our bounding box has a SW corner of (158.97949,-50.680797) and a NE corner of (-171.48926,-29.305561)).
  • Less than 100% of the expected QC information is present.
