EStreams: An integrated dataset and catalogue of streamflow, hydro-climatic and landscape variables for Europe.

Large-sample hydrology datasets have become increasingly available, contributing to significant scientific advances. However, in Europe, only a few such datasets have been published, capturing only a fraction of the wealth of information from national data providers in terms of available spatial density and temporal extent. We present "EStreams", an extensive dataset of hydro-climatic variables and landscape descriptors and a catalogue of openly available stream records for 17,130 European catchments.

Methods comparison for detecting trends in herbicide monitoring time-series in streams.

An inadvertent consequence of pesticide use is aquatic pesticide pollution, which has prompted the implementation of mitigation measures in many countries. Water quality monitoring programs are an important tool to evaluate the efficacy of these mitigation measures. However, large interannual variability of pesticide losses makes it challenging to detect significant improvements in water quality and to attribute these improvements to the application of specific mitigation measures.

Challenges of spatially extrapolating aquatic pesticide pollution for policy evaluation.

Aquatic pesticide pollution is an important issue worldwide. Countries rely on monitoring programs to observe water bodies quality and on models to evaluate pesticide risks for entire stream networks. Measurements are typically sparse and discontinuous which lead to issues in quantifying pesticide transport at the catchment scale.

Unraveling the riverine antibiotic resistome: The downstream fate of anthropogenic inputs.

River networks are one of the main routes by which the public could be exposed to environmental sources of antibiotic resistance, that may be introduced e.g. via treated wastewater.

A review of long-term pesticide monitoring studies to assess surface water quality trends.

Aquatic pesticide pollution from both agricultural and urban pest control is a concern in many parts of the world. Making an accurate assessment of pesticide exposure is the starting point to protecting aquatic ecosystems. This in turn requires the design of an effective monitoring program.
