Fracture Analog Project Data Holdings
Water samples were collected using suction lysimeters at 56 locations
ranging in depth from 0.3 m (1 ft) to 13.4 m (44 ft) in fifteen wells
(E-1 through E-4, I-1 through I-3, and T-2 through T-9)
located both within and outside of the infiltration pond.
Sixteen of the locations never produced any water samples either before
or after the infiltration test. Three other locations were "moist", but
did not produce water in measureable quantities. Water samples sufficient
for chemical analysis were collected at 34 locations after tracer was
added to the pond. There were three locations that produced measureable
amounts of water before tracer was added, but not after.
Samples were collected daily at all locations before tracer was added, and
at selected locations twice daily after tracer was added. Samples
were analyzed at LBNL using a Dionex high-performance liquid chromatograph
with a conductivity detector.
