GENERAL INFORMATION Title of dataset: Climate change risk to raw water quality data set 3: Water quality (TOC, Iron, Manganese, Turbidity & Colour) DOI: 10.15132/10000199 File name: DS3_TOCColourSeries.csv Context of data creation: The data was created as part of a PhD thesis investigating links between catchment characteristics and water quality to assess impacts of climate change on raw water quality. Description of dataset: The file contains concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC), iron, manganese, turbidity, and colour from routine soure water sampling from Scottish Water between 2011 and 2016. Permission to reuse this data needs to be sought from Scottish Water.
