Description

Along river Glatt and river Chriesbach, spot samples were taken in an approximately weekly rhythm at five different stations from June 1972 to April 1977.
In those samples physical, geochemical, anthropogenic parameters and heavy metals were measured.

Aim

This project served as a pilot project for new extensive chemical examinations of flowing waters with regard to:

• sample taking
• sample preservation
• chemical analysis
• data preparation
• data storage
• data analysis
• assessment of the water bodies

Apart from this, strongly polluted water from river Glatt was analyzed.

• Chriesbach-Duebendorf

Structure of the Data Files

• measured data
• loads
• annual average of concentrations and loads
• graphs of time series of concentrations and loads

Data source

Chemical data are from Eawag and discharge data are from AWEL and FOEN
