Physicochemical and Microbiological Water Monitoring Data for Bucaramanga, 2021

2021 monitoring data from the Regional Autonomous Corporation for the Defense of the Bucaramanga Plateau (CDMB) network. The dataset likely contains measurements for various parameters at specific sampling points, with columns suggesting spatial coordinates, sample types, and flow rates. It is published by www.datos.gov.co and was last updated on 2026-05-18.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in water PARAMETRO values using FECHA and HORA from the monitoring network.
• Map contamination levels by geolocating sampling points using X(ESTE) and Y(NORTE) coordinates.
• Correlate CAUDAL (l/s) flow rates with measured VALOR for different PARAMETRO types to study dilution effects.
• Compare sample types by categorizing results based on TIPO DE MUESTRA and UNIDAD DE MEDIDA.

Strengths

• Includes spatial coordinates (X(ESTE), Y(NORTE)) for geospatial analysis.
• Contains multiple measurement types (PARAMETRO, TIPO DE MUESTRA, CAUDAL) for multifaceted analysis.
• Covers a full calendar year of monitoring data from 2021.

Limitations

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