The files included in this data package provide site wide water level data, geochemical data, and borehole information associated with the Rifle site in Colorado during the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) led Integrated Field Research Challenge (IFRC) and Scientific Focus Area (SFA) research projects. The data informs hydrogeochemical interactions occurring in the watershed. The readme file contains detailed metadata for the files, including naming conventions, column headers, and data validation.The borehole information is provided in the file called rifle_boreholes.csv. It provides names and location for boreholes/wells at the Rifle. The waterlevel data is provided in the folder rifle_waterlevels. The geochemical data is provided in two folders: the rifle_floodplain_geochemistry folder has data which was collected from wells across the floodplain and a variety of offsite locations that contribute solutes to the floodplain given their upgradient locations. The rifle_plotC_geochemistry folder has data which was collected primarily in plot C, which was a focused study area in which a large number of groundwater manipulation / biostimulation experiments were conducted. While not all geochemical constituents are included for each well location and sampling date, they include anions, cations, trace metals, dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, stable isotopes of water and sulfur (as sulfate), and water quality parameters including pH, groundwater electrical conductivity (EC) and dissolved oxygen (DO). All files are in csv or txt format.
