The dataset contains yearlong monthly measurements (June 2020 to April 2022) of water quality parameters, CO2, CH4 and N2O concentrations from 23 streams, 3 drainage ditches and 2 wastewater effluent sites within within the Loisach, Schwingbach and Neckar catchments in Germany. The study sites covered various upstream land uses (croplands, wetlands...

Anthropogenic activities increase the contributions of inland waters to global greenhouse gas (GHG; CO2, CH4, and N2O) budgets, yet the mechanisms driving these increases are still not well constrained. In this study, we quantified year-long GHG concentrations, fluxes, and water physico-chemical variables from 28 sites contrasted by land use across...

The Neckar Valley and the Swabian Jura in southwest Germany comprise a hotspot for severe convective storms, causing tens of millions of euros in damage each year. Possible reasons for the high frequency of thunderstorms and the associated event chain across compartments were investigated in detail during the hydro-meteorological field campaign Swa...

The presence of anthropogenic organic micropollutants in rivers poses a long-term threat to surface water quality. To describe and quantify the in-stream fate of single micropollutants, the advection-dispersion-reaction (ADR) equation has been used previously. Understanding the dynamics of the mixture effects and cytotoxicity that are cumulatively...

Extreme Wetterereignisse nehmen auch in Deutschland beständig zu. Die Messkampagne Swabian MOSES hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Wetterextreme im Neckartal und auf der Schwäbischen Alb disziplinübergreifend zu untersuchen. Im Sommer 2021 kam es zu einer außergewöhnlichen Serie von Gewitterereignissen mit Hagel und Starkregen. Meteorologische Unter...

Lower‐order streams define the initial, landscape‐related, chemical signature of stream water in catchments. To date, first‐order streams have been perceived as predominantly draining systems, which collect water and solutes from the surrounding groundwater and surface runoff and simply mirror the chemical composition of the inputs. In this study,...

For a better process understanding of in-stream attenuation of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs), quantitative comparisons between field studies under different environmental conditions and controlled laboratory experiments are important to separate different processes. However, this is hampered by the challenge to transfer kinetics from the labor...

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays an important role in the fate of organic micropollutants in rivers during rain events, when sediments are remobilized and turbid runoff components enter the rivers. Under baseflow conditions, the SPM concentration is low and the contribution of SPM-bound contaminants to the overall risk of organic contaminan...

Coastal ecosystem health and sustainability is tightly coupled to submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and associated nutrient, carbon and pollutant fluxes. However, there are few studies that systematically analyse the interaction between the terrestrial aquifer system, catchment morphology and coastal SGD. The objective of this study was to eval...

Understanding of groundwater‐surface water (GW‐SW) interactions is vital for water management in karstic catchments due to its impact on water quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the applicability of seven environmental tracers to quantify and localize groundwater exfiltration into a small, human impacted karstic river...

Urban areas are a leading source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that result from combustion processes and are emitted into rivers, especially during rain events and with particle wash-off from urban surfaces. In-stream transport of suspended particles and attached PAHs is linked strongly to sediment turnover processes. This study aimed...

Organic micropollutants enter rivers mainly with discharges of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and pose a risk to aquatic ecosystems and water quality. A considerable knowledge gap exists for disentangling overlapping processes and driving conditions that control the fate of these pollutants. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the drivi...

Organic micropollutants of anthropogenic origin in river waters may impair aquatic ecosystem health and drinking water quality. To evaluate micropollutant fate and turnover on a catchment scale, information on input source characteristics as well as spatial and temporal variability are required. The influence of tributaries from agricultural and ur...

Organic micropollutants in rivers are emitted via diffuse and point sources like from agricultural practice or wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Extensive laboratory and field experiments have been conducted to understand emissions and fate of these pollutants in freshwaters. Nevertheless, data is often difficult to compare since common protocols...

First order streams drain considerable proportions of river catchments and as they are normally well connected to shallow groundwater they are among the first receptors of agricultural effluents. Understanding the processes governing the water quality in agricultural areas requires identifying sources of potential pollutants, hotspots of biogeochem...
