Old River Data
Spot Samples of various Swiss Rivers from 1965 until 1973
Description
Spot samples were taken and analysed in a quarterly rhythm at eight different stations (excelsheet and map) distributed all over Switzerland from 1965 until 1973.
- Aare - Bern, Felsenau
- Aare - Beznau
- Broye - Payerne
- Doubs - Ocourt
- Inn - Martinsbruck
- Rhein - Sankt Margarethen
- Rhône - Aïre
- Rhône - Porte du Scex
Monitoring Program
In those samples, physical, geochemical and anthropogenic parameters were measured.(analytical methods)
Origin of Data

Aggregated Samples of Rhein - Schmitter 1972 /1973
Description
At the hydrological monitoring station Rhein - Schmitter aggregated samples were collected and analysed in an approximately weekly rhythm in 1972 and 1973.
Aim and Monitoring Program
Based on the program of International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine (IKSR) to analyse the input of nutrients from tributary waters into lake Bodensee, the hydrological monitoring station Rhein - Schmitter was equipped for continious water sampling, measuring and data recording. The samples were taken in a weekly rhythm and analysed at EAWAG on components of nitrogen and phosphor proportional to the discharge. At high water discharge (Q > 330 m3/sec) samples were collected in a lower cadence into a separate collector (samples may therefore overlap in collection time). Averages of water temperature, pH or conductivity originate from the continuous recording. The data were published in the Hydrological Yearbook of Switzerland.
