TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive data set of DOC concentration records for UK catchments was compiled to evaluate trends and test whether observed increases are ubiquitous over time and space, and the average annual increase in DOC concentration was 0.17 mg C/l/year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long term variation in water colour from Yorkshire catchments.
TL;DR: Factors to convert water colour measured in absorbance units per metre (Au/m) to Hazen units are presented for ten sites in the Yorkshire region using data from August 1997 to June 1998, showing some evidence that they may show seasonal variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal and longer term patterns in carbon dioxide and calcite saturation for the River Kennet, south-eastern England.
TL;DR: The waters are permanently oversaturated with respect to calcite and the diurnal patterns of change are maximal during the summer months, and the rates of degassing of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the river surface and the atmosphere are high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Riverine inputs of major ions and trace elements to the tidal reaches of the River Tweed, UK.

TL;DR: The results indicate that most dissolved major ions and trace elements behave conservatively in the lower reaches of the River Tweed, the variability in concentrations being dominated by hydrology and the existence of different high-flow and low-flow endmember runoff chemistries, and the relationships between pH, Ca, Mg and Gran alkalinity show pronounced non-conservative behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of a regional procedure to assess the risk to fish from high sediment concentrations
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple regional model relating daily mean suspended sediment concentration in rivers to flow and percentage of cropped and urban land has been applied to the Lower Swale, UK.
