Water quality in a basin for drinking water in the North-West of Italy

Information about water quality in La Loggia basin was collected in different seasons in 2022, both on the basin surface and at different depths.

Samples were collected and analysed in lab, for the following parameters:

• Total chlorophyll
• Blue-green algae
• Diatoms
• Green algae
• Planktothrix
• Transparency
• Temperature
• Dissolved oxygen
• pH
• Conductivity
• Turbidity
• Bromide
• Bromate
• Chloride
• Chlorite
• Chlorate
• Fluoride
• Nitrite
• Nitrate
• Orthophosphate
• Sulfates

Samples were collected in the same dates of Sentinel-2 passages, in order to be used for the of satellite derived water quality products.
The shared data are not representative of drinking water distributed to users, since a multi-step treatment is performed on raw water in order to assure water safety and law-compliant quality standards.

The coordinates of the sampling points are also available in the dataset.
