A Blind Dive into the Unknown: Water Quality without Metadata 1: Luleå University of Technology; 2: Norwegian University of Science and Technology; 3: University of New South Wales; 4: Technical University of Denmark; 5: Eawag; 6: ETH Zürich The need to monitor urban water quality is increasing due to the ecotoxicological and health risks urban contaminants pose to water resources. Moreover, the list of contaminants of potential concern is increasing, leading to monitoring challenges due to various urban water matrices and sites to be analysed by a range of analytical methods. However, without efforts toward standardizing datasets and metadata, the collected network of datasets will remain fragmented in space, time and context. We suggest a first draft for a standard for metadata for urban water quality for discussion and review among the urban drainage community to increase the potential for datasets reuse. This standard will also support the efforts of early career researchers, who are often the ones collecting data. The proposed data format will allow to reconnect datasets to generate new knowledge, favour reanalysis and bridge the gap between hydroinformatics and cheminformatics. | |
