Glasgow, UK, groundwater and surface water chemistry data from 86 samples collected by the British Geological Survey between September 2020 and May 2021. The release includes data from 6 surface water sites, 5 mine water boreholes, and 5 environmental monitoring boreholes, analyzed for selected chemical parameters. It contains a report and two data sheets.
Use Cases
- Establishing baseline water chemistry conditions based on samples from 16 distinct monitoring sites.
- Comparing groundwater and surface water quality based on data from 60 groundwater and 20 surface water samples.
- Monitoring geoenvironmental changes over time based on data collected during a defined 8-month period.
- Assessing mine water influence on local hydrology based on samples from 5 dedicated mine water boreholes.
Strengths
