UK Environmental Monitoring Points for Water and Mine Gas

UK-wide monitoring points collect environmental data gathered by the Mining Remediation Authority (formerly The Coal Authority). Data types likely include water level, mine gas concentration, flow rate, chemistry, and pumping data. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-14.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater level changes based on water level monitoring data.
• Assess mine gas migration and concentration risks based on gas concentration readings.
• Analyze water chemistry trends for pollution from mining sites.
• Monitor remediation effectiveness based on flow rate and pumping data.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative Mining Remediation Authority, responsible for post-mining environmental safety.
• Covers multiple environmental parameters including water level, gas concentration, flow rate, and chemistry.
• Last updated on 2026-04-14, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and spatial density of monitoring points are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to monitoring locations near historical mining activity.
