UKGEOS Glasgow groundwater and surface water chemistry dataset release (2020–2021)

The data release includes surface and groundwater chemistry data from 86 samples (20 surface water, 60 ground water, and 6 ground water duplicates) collected during the baseline water monitoring at the UK Geoenergy Observatories (UKGEOS) Glasgow facility. This release from the British Geological Survey (BGS) covers surface and groundwater samples collected between 14 September 2020 and 20 May 2021 from 6 surface water sites, 5 mine water boreholes, and 5 environmental monitoring boreholes. The samples were then analysed for the concentrations of selected parameters at BGS and other laboratories. It contains a report and 2 data sheets GroundWaterChemData1 and SurfaceWaterChemData2. Further details can be found in the accompanying report https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/532731/ . Detailed methodologies are reported in Fordyce (2021, http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/529818/ and Palumbo-Roe (2021, http://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/531098/ ).

Data Quality

The water samples for selected chemical parameter analysis were collected during the ‘monthly’ environmental baseline monitoring at the UK Geoenergy Observatory (UKGEOS) in Glasgow between 14 September 2020 and 20 May 2021. COVID-19 restrictions affected the regularity and completeness of each round such that not all samples were collected monthly. After collection, the samples underwent analysis at BGS, SOCOTEC and Scottish Water laboratories for a range of inorganic and organic determinands. Data was returned in 2021. Where possible, analytical methods were UKAS accredited. The analytical data returned underwent quality assurance by BGS hydrogeochemists and scientists and is presented in two data sheets. The BGS undertook further quality control checking of the combined laboratory and field observation dataset. Further description https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/532731/
