Samples are from 6 surface water sites, 5 mine water boreholes, and 5 environmental monitoring boreholes and were analysed at BGS and other laboratories. It includes the following parameters: field measurements of redox potential (ORP), pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, alkalinity and water temperature, as well as chemical analyses of major, minor, and trace elements, non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), oxygen and deuterium isotopes (δ2H and δ18O), carbon isotopes in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) (δ13CDIC), and – limited to the groundwater samples – ammonium (NH4), reduced iron, dissolved sulphide, dissolved gases radon, methane, ethane and carbon dioxide (Rn, CH4, C2H6, CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). The dataset consists of two excel files: GroundWaterChemData3 and SurfaceWaterChemData4, with an accompanying report by Palumbo-Roe et al. (2025).

After collection, the samples underwent analysis at BGS, SOCOTEC, UKCEH and Scottish Water laboratories for a range of inorganic and organic determinands. Where possible, analytical methods were UKAS accredited. The analytical data underwent quality assurance by BGS hydrogeochemists and is presented in two data sheets. The BGS undertook further quality control checking of the combined laboratory and field observation dataset. Further description can be found in the accompanying report Palumbo-Roe et al. 2025.
