This data set covers high resolution (30-min frequency) water quality and dissolved carbon data from a peatland river in Southwest Scotland (5.8 km2), part of the Whitelee Wind Farm complex. The data set covers approx. 2.5 years including two full hydrological years and 261 individual flood events between 23/05/2012 and 16/12/2014. Carbon data was measured using a Scan Spectrolyser – a field deployable UV-Vis light spectrometer.
