This dataset includes groundwater geochemistry data from floodplain piezometers collected as a part of the Watershed Function Scientific Focus Area (SFA) located in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The data were collected in order to investigate the role of hyporheic exchange and other river corridor processes on riverine export of solutes. Data includes samples from two intra-meander zones: Meander C, in the Pumphouse vicinity, and Meander Z, just upstream of the confluence with Brush Creek. Floodplain piezometers installed along two transects across Meander C (MCP and MCB wells) and Meander Z (MZA and MZB wells) were sampled on daily to weekly time scales during summer-fall 2019. Some river water grab samples are also included. Data includes in-field measurements (pH, electrical conductivity [EC], oxidation reduction potential [ORP], dissolved oxygen [DO], and groundwater level) along with laboratory measurements (dissolved inorganic carbon [DIC], dissolved organic carbon [DOC], metals and major cations, anions [chloride, sulfate, nitrate], and dissolved ammonium). Files are included in this dataset include: sample locations and depths in both a kmz file which can be opened in Google Earth and a csv file, aqueous geochemistry data in a csv files for Meander C and Meander Z, and analytical detection limits in a csv file. This dataset also includes a file-level metadata (flmd.csv) file that lists each file contained in the dataset with associated metadata and a data dictionary (dd.csv) file that contains column/row headers used throughout the files along with a definition, units, and data type.
