HKU TDG 101002328: Hong Kong Water Quality Field Trip Data

Datasets for HKU TDG project (101002328) contain water quality measurements from self-guided field trips conducted by undergraduate students across Hong Kong. The data was collected for courses GEOG2055 and GEOG2120 to investigate spatial dynamics in natural water bodies and tap water. Field sampling and laboratory analysis were financially supported by the HKU TDG project, with the dataset last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns of water quality based on field sampling across Hong Kong.
• Compare water quality metrics between natural water bodies and tap water sources.
• Model environmental factors influencing water quality based on field trip observations.
• Support educational research on student-led field trip methodologies.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly linked to a funded university teaching development project (HKU TDG 101002328).
• Dataset includes measurements from both natural and municipal water systems, suggesting a comparative scope.
• Available under a clear, open license (CC-BY-NC-4.0).

Limitations

• Dataset is very small (35.6 KB), indicating limited scope or number of observations.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
