This dataset contains daily water discharge data from Trout Beck in the Moor House-Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve in the northern Pennines, Cumbria, UK. Data were automatically recorded at a gauging station located on a weir on the Trout Beck and collated by a variety of staff at the Moor House Research Station on behalf of the Wear and Tees River Board and the National Rivers Authority.

The data contain solar radiation, air temperature, temperature depression, wind velocity, wind direction and rainfall from Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) located at Moor House and Helbeck, Cumbria, UK. This data contain a mixture of hourly and daily readings. The data were collected between July 1974 and February 1987 at Moor House and between May 1974 and October 1983 at Helbeck.

Stream water discharge data from the UK Environmental Change Network (ECN) terrestrial sites. The data (stage and discharge) are collected by loggers at ECN's terrestrial sites (where a stream is present) using a standard protocol. They represent continuous 15-minute records from 1993 to 2015. The sites at which these data are collected are: Glensaugh, Moor House - Upper Teesdale, Sourhope, Wytham and Y Wyddfa (Snowdon). ECN is the UK's long-term environmental monitoring programme. It is a multi-agency programme sponsored by a consortium of fourteen government departments and agencies. These organisations contribute to the programme through funding either site monitoring and/or network co-ordination activities. These organisations are: Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru - Natural Resources Wales, Defence Science & Technology Laboratory, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Environment Agency, Forestry Commission, Llywodraeth Cymru - Welsh Government, Natural England, Natural Environment Research Council, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Scottish Government and Scottish Natural Heritage.

The Environmental Research Observatory Site of Fontaine de Vaucluse – LSBB is an observation and experimental site located in south-eastern France. Observation and experimentations are performed by UMR EMMAH (AU/INRAE) at two different scales: at catchment scale since 1981 (these observations and experiments are reported within the SNO KARST) and at micro-site scale since 2002 at the Low Noise Underground Laboratory (these measurements are reported within the SNO H+ network). Fontaine de Vaucluse is both outstanding and typical of the mediterranean context. This spring is one of the largest springs in Europe with an average discharge over 20 m3/s. It is the main outlet of a large limestone catchment (~ 1160 km2), that extends mainly over natural land, with thick unsaturated zone (800 m in average).

UK ECN site. The River Lambourn rises near the village of Lambourn in the chalk of the the Berkshire Downs at an altitude of about 152m AOD. It is 26km long and flows through the Kennet Valley in a south-easterly direction to Newbury where it joins the River Kennet at an altitude of about 85m AOD. There is one important tributary, the Winterbourne Stream, which flows into the Lambourn from the north-east, just upstream of Newbury. The sampling site is located at Bagnor in the town of Newbury (population: c. 35,000) at an altitude of about 80m AOD, about 5km above the confluence with the Kennet. The underlying bedrock is chalk, with overlying river gravels. The catchment is mostly rural, with mixed farming as the main industry, and there are extensive decidous woodlands on the catchment boundary. The river forms part of the proposed Kennet and Lambourn floodplain Special Area of Conservation (SAC) under the European Community Habitats Directive. Most of the river is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Ten kilometres from the source, the river receives input from East Shefford sewage works. There are no other significant inputs upstream of the sampling site and no large conurbations on the catchment above the site. Water quality in the Lambourn is good; the river is classified as General Quality Assessment (GQA) biological class 'b' and chemical class 'A'. The river corridor is notable for reed beds and willow stands and the floodplain provides important feeding grounds for snipe (Gallionago gallionago) and water rail (Rallus aquaticus). There are good extensive gravel spawning areas for salmonids; the river supports one of the best and most productive fisheries for brown trout (Salmo trutta) in the area, with natural populations of grayling (Thymallus thymallus) also present. The Lambourn is in the top 10% for England and Wales for the number of macroinvertebrate families recorded during the GQA survey; five nationally rare species of invertebrates are found associated with the river. Native crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) have not been recorded in the catchment in recent years, although they are present in the Kennet downstream. Populations of the introduced American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are present.

UK ECN site. Located to the north of Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, the Garvary River has its source in the outflows from Loughs Vearty and Tullyasiddagh. It flows in a general south-easterly direction, augmented by the Crossowen River and the outflow from Lough Scolban, and eventually discharges to Lower Lough Erne. Approximately 7 km long, the river has a catchment area of 35.5km2 of which around 5% is lake surface. At the ECN site, the river is 2.5-3 metres wide and 30cm deep with a few holding pools around 60cm deep. The drift geology of the catchment consists mainly of peat and bedrock at or near the surface which some glacial till and small amounts of sand and gravel. The solid geology has been identified as mainly mica schist of the Moinian period. In its upper reaches, the river flows though moorland and peat bog. Soils in the catchment are peats and gleys with poor drainage capacity, supporting a vegetation cover of rough pasture, bracken and heather. The upper part of the catchment supports low intensity sheep grazing, while downstream the land use is predominantly improved grassland. Although the Garvary River has not been designated under the Freshwater Fish Directive it has excellent water quality both chemically and biologically, and it is a very important nursery area with high densities of juvenile trout and salmon. Its banks have many trees (mainly alder, willow and hazel) which provide adequate shading for the juvenile fish. The river is not suitable for angling and does not have stocks of takable fish. Wildlife found in the river corridor include mallard duck and dragonflies.
