The report provides information on:

  1. Routine monthly monitoring of water quality at 10 sites:
    • Year 2014 summary data tabulated by parameter for each location and reported with the median of the previous 5 years.
    • Key parameter graphs showing the average water quality for 2014 at each location, compared to results of the previous 5 years.
    • Summary tables identifying the number of samples meeting ‘satisfactory’ and ‘excellent’ water quality standards and guidelines.
    • Raw data for 2014.
    • Raw data for the 2-yearly bathing season microbiological survey (17 sites, weekly sampling).
  2. Additional information is provided in the appendices on:
    • Flow (Appendix I).
      • The effect of flow is important to assessing water quality and making comparisons between years. Appendix I provide information on annual median flow at some locations for the previous 10 years.
    • Datasonde deployments
