Corpoboyacá River Basin Water Quality and Flow Measurements

A dataset from Corpoboyacá containing water quality and flow measurements for river basins in the Boyacá region of Colombia. It includes parameters such as fecal coliforms, dissolved oxygen, pH, and flow rate, with associated geographic coordinates and sampling dates. The data was last updated on 2026-05-25.

Use Cases

• Modeling water quality index using pH, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, and CONDUCTIVITY (from 13 available columns).
• Predicting fecal contamination levels (COLIFORMES FECALES) from upstream land use or other chemical parameters.
• Analyzing seasonal flow patterns (CAUDAL DE LA CORRIENTE) across different CUENCA Y TRAMO segments.
• Mapping pollution sources by correlating DBO and DQO measurements with MUNICIPIO and COORDENADAS GEOGRÁFICAS.

Strengths

• Includes 13 distinct measurement columns covering physical, chemical, and biological water parameters.
• Contains geospatial coordinates (COORDENADAS GEOGRÁFICAS) enabling geographic analysis.
• Provides temporal context with a FECHA DE MUESTREO (sampling date) column.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
