Data from the UKCRIC National Green Infrastructure Facility: Advancing Knowledge of Green Infrastructure and Sustainable Drainage Systems

The UKCRIC National Green Infrastructure Facility (NGIF) is a full-scale living laboratory for multidisciplinary testing and demonstration of fully functional green infrastructure and sustainable drainage systems, based at Newcastle University, in the North-East of England. The NGIF is based in the Urban Sciences Building (NE4 5TG) and features a number of heavily instrumented green infrastructure features along Holmes Avenue.

This dataset forms a complete and up-to-date repository of all data collected at the NGIF. Data is presented for the NGIF Lysimeters, Ensemble 'rain gardens', Swale, Green Roof and other instrumented on-site GI features.

*A complete dataset of NGIF data is found in the file 'NGIF.zip'. This is supplemented by a Read Me file ('Read Me.pdf'), containing relevant information on the data and experiments. Consultation of the read me documentation before opening the dataset file is recommended. A supplementary video ('Video.mp4') is also attached for background and context on the facility*

Some data is also available for visualisation and plotting on the NGIF data app: www.ngif.ncl.ac.uk.
