Description
Monitoring data from July 2023 to April 2024 captures the performance of a constructed wetland designed to treat agricultural runoff flowing towards the Great Barrier Reef. The dataset includes physicochemical parameters, nitrogen levels, total suspended solids, water velocity, and rainfall from continuous, routine, and event-based monitoring. Data were collected by Terrain NRM as part of the Tully-Johnstone Wetland Monitoring Project to assess contaminant removal and inform wetland modeling.
Use Cases
Modeling wetland treatment performance for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) removal based on nitrogen level data.
Analyzing sediment capture efficiency based on total suspended solids (TSS) and particle size distribution measurements.
Assessing hydrological processes and water balance based on water velocity, water heights, and local rainfall data.
Evaluating the impact of monitoring strategies (continuous vs. event-based) on understanding wetland function.
Strengths
Data collection spans a 10-month period from July 2023 to April 2024, covering a wet season.
Includes multiple data types: physicochemical parameters, nitrogen levels, total suspended solids, water velocity, and rainfall.
Supported by three technical reports detailing monitoring methodology and findings.
Builds upon previous monitoring datasets from 2019-2023, providing context for longitudinal analysis.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Data is contained within three Excel files with multiple worksheets, which may require consolidation for analysis.
