Hi Declan, I have contacted both of my local nature centers. One you may have heard about: Stony Brook Millstone Watershed as they have an active stream monitoring program: StreamWatch<http://www.thewatershed.org/science/stream-watch/>, including chemical and biological monitoring. I'll be in touch directly if either of the centers would like to pursue creating stream-specific WE resource pages.
But as for data--I see you've noticed my recent work in the math glossary :D--please yes. I am very interested. There is a dearth of openly-licensed, pre-prepared datasets available for use in hands-on learning activities. I've often thought that it would be useful to organize a collection of datasets on WE for use in learning statistics. Let me know how you are interested to proceed.
