Water Quality Measurements for a Treatment Plant Tributary and Effluent, Summer 2015

Daily measured concentrations of suspended matter (MES) and phosphorus in samples from a treatment plant's tributary and effluent during the 2015 summer season. The data underwent simulation and estimation treatments for flexibility in prototypes developed for the Aquahacking 2016 event. This is a one-time extraction with no planned updates, published by the Government and Municipalities of Québec.

Use Cases

• Modeling treatment plant efficiency based on daily MES and phosphorus concentration measurements.
• Comparing influent and effluent pollutant levels based on the described tributary and effluent samples.
• Simulating water quality scenarios for prototype development based on the data's special treatments.
• Analyzing seasonal water quality trends during summer based on the 2015 time period.

Strengths

• Daily measurements provide a granular temporal view of water quality.
• Includes two key water quality parameters: suspended matter (MES) and phosphorus.
• Data was processed for flexibility in prototype development, suggesting a focus on practical application.
• Published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for open reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single summer season (2015) and a one-time extraction, limiting temporal scope.
