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).
