Geochemistry and Environmental Tracer Data for Groundwater, Stream Water, and Sediment from the East Mancos River, Colorado, 2023

Description

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains data from stream water, groundwater, and stream sediment samples collected in August 2023 in the East Mancos River watershed in southwestern Colorado. Data were collected as part of a study aimed at identifying sources of elevated metal concentrations in the stream. Eighteen streambank wells were installed in pairs at nine locations to capture the emerging groundwater from the left and right banks (relative to downstream-facing direction) and a synoptic sampling campaign was conducted to quantify stream metal loads. A continuous, instream injection of sodium bromide (NaBr) was initiated at the head of the ~17 km study reach prior to the synoptic sampling campaign and maintained [...]
