CAMELS-CH-Chem: Water Quality, Isotopes and Atmospheric Chemistry for Swiss Catchments
Extension of CAMELS-CH adding up to 40 water quality parameters for 115 Swiss catchments (1981-2020): hourly/daily water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, plus (bi)monthly DOC/TOC, alkalinity, nutrients, ions, precipitation isotopes and agricultural land-cover attributes. Record on the University of Bern BORIS Portal.

What you can do with it
Typical work that data of this type supports.
- 01
Hotspots and trends
Find where contamination is high and whether it is getting worse.
Because it has: water quality
- 02
Compliance checks
Compare samples against drinking water and discharge standards.
- 03
Design flows
Estimate 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 year floods for bridges, culverts and spillways.
Because it has: catchment attributes
Where AI adds value
Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.
- 01
Risk maps
Predict contamination where no samples exist, from geology, land use and climate.
- 02
Anomaly alerts
Catch sudden spikes in sensor or lab data automatically.
- 03
Flow forecasting
Train LSTM-style models on past records to forecast river levels and flow days ahead.
