Wyre and Ribble river chemistry in support of Equipt4risk NERC project (NERC Grant NE/R017832/1 )

This data is the analysis of the river water of the paper: Wilson et al. (20 "Compartmentalisation and groundwater–surface water interactions in a prospective shale gas basin: Assessment using variance analysis and multivariate statistics on water quality data" Hydrological Processes 34:3271–3294 ( https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hyp.13795) The data is from two sampling campaigns sampling the rivers of the Wyre and Ribble catchments in north west England. The river water samples were collected to test whether groundwater compartmentalisation observed in the underlying aquifers impacted the surface water quality. The compartmentalisation of the aquifer is important because this has been shown to control the vulnerability of water resources to pollution from facking fluids injected at depths of 1000's m.

Statement

The field campaign was based upon a factorial design to cover both the different rivers, geology and a fault known to compartmentalise the underlying aquifer. Samples were collected upon two field campaigns in July and September 2018. In total , across the two campaigns, 239 separate locations were sampled, some locations were sampled in both campaigns to ensure comparability. All samples were analysed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Of the 239 sample locations, 170 were not tidally influenced and were distributed as: Mercia Mudstone Group (40 samples); Sherwood Sandstone Group(69 samples); Millstone Grit (29 samples); Lower Coal Measures (2 samples); and the Bowland High and Craven Groups (30 samples). Ions measured were: calcium(Ca), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn),sodium (Na) and sulphur (S).
