Data from: Feasibility of Infiltration Galleries for Managed Aquifer Recharge in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer of Northeast Arkansas

The information in this dataset is from "Feasibility of Infiltration Galleries for Managed Aquifer Recharge in the Northeast Arkansas Delta" by Godwin et al., 2020. Included in the dataset are the following raw data:

• Table of well log point -Coordinates and other characteristic data for each groundwater well log point used in confining unit mapping survey. These points can be used for various spatial analyses of the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial Aquifer (MRVAA) and its upper confining unit. Check the Arkansas Water Well Construction Commission database for updated spatial information, updated and improved logs, and newly added well logs.
• Raw geophysical data files -Electrical resistivity survey files from the selected reservoir sites collected in partnership with the United States Geological Survey. These are the raw files from Inverse-Schlumberger method survey lines at five reservoir sites, which measure differences in soil electrical properties. These differences correspond to changes in soil texture.
• Soil sample textural analysis data -Data includes sand/silt/clay analysis result sheet and sand fractionization result sheets for samples from the reservoir sites selected after geophysical surveys were conducted. Data should be used only with considerations of the sampling and analysis methods described in the publication.

• Soil sample chemical analysis data -Includes major and minor metals/nutrients, pH, and other chemical properties for samples from selected sites. Data should be used only with considerations of the sampling and analysis methods described in the publication.
