Assessment of the Chemical Water Status: Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC)
This dataset provides data on Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) concentrations used to assess chemical water status under Switzerland's National Surface Water Quality Monitoring Programme (NAWA). Water quality is jointly recorded by federal and cantonal authorities at around 100 monitoring stations across the country. Assessment applies a numerical threshold of 4 mg/l for DOC. The dataset is maintained by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) as part of the Swiss Confederation's environmental monitoring activities, supporting evaluation of surface water quality at a national scale.Within the National Surface Water Quality Monitoring Programme (NAWA), water quality is recorded jointly by the federal and cantonal authorities at around 100 monitoring stations.
