NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/9f80e349-0594-4ae1-bff3-b055638569f8 This dataset contains high-resolution (5-minute) discharge, turbidity, suspended sediment concentration, and total phosphorus concentration data measured at three stream sites in the Littlestock Brook catchment (a tributary of the River Evenlode) from 2017 to 2021. The turbidity and concentration data were derived from a combination of instream sensors and lab-analysed water samples. Discharge data were derived using a stage-discharge rating curve constructed from manual measurements of flow velocity and water level sensor measurements. This dataset was collected by UKCEH as part of a hydrological monitoring programme for the Littlestock Brook Natural Flood Management scheme. There are some periods of data gaps within the timeseries as a result of sensor errors which have been excluded. These data may be used to calculate suspended sediment and phosphorus fluxes loads leaving the catchment. This work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/L002531/1).

Spot measurements of stream discharge were made using the velocity-area method and the dilution method to construct rating curves. Water samples were also taken across a range of flows to analyse suspended sediment and total phosphorus concentrations (mg L-1) in order to calibrate the turbidity readings. Data underwent QC to flag any spurious readings in the timeseries which were then removed and linearly interpolated where appropriate.
