point data/observation data, vector data (shape files), descriptive data
short description of the dataset/summary:
This database contains climatic, hydrologic, water quality and biological data for the river catchment of Pinios in Thessaly Greece, that were compiled during the European FP7 funded project MARS. The database is a compilation of datasets that contain mostly information on precipitation, air temperature, river discharge, river nutrient concentrations, macroinvertabrates and fish of river Pinios in Greece. The majority of the data listed in the database were obtained by the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment, the Public Power Corporation of Greece, and other published sources.
