"Accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis" is the theme for the World Water Day 2023. Within the SITES Water long-term measurement program, data on hydrological, physical, chemical, and biological parameters within lakes and streams across SITES stations is made openly available to the user community to address a broad range of scientific questions relevant to solving the water crisis.
In celebration of World Water Day, the AQUATIC data from LAKE ERKEN has been updated including quality controlled data for 2022. The data covers a broad range of data types on chemical and physical variables for the lake and the streams surrounding it. Extensive time series can be found under the following link:
