Method synopsis

Systematic collection of groundwater samples at regular depth intervals using sediment coring and peristaltic pumping, with immediate field analysis and laboratory chemical characterization. Targets transient hydrogeochemical conditions in riparian floodplains.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 25 papers using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Model-based interpretation of solute exports and carbon partitioning during shale weathering in a mountainous hillslope (2026), Water Resources Research. The protocol was originally introduced by Predicting sedimentary bedrock subsurface weathering fronts and weathering rates (2019), Scientific Reports. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

Install monitoring well transect
Install a 140-m transect aligned to the groundwater flow direction consisting of three monitoring wells (PLM1, PLM2, PLM3) at different elevations along the hillslope, with PLM3 located at the toe slope, to characterize hydrological and biogeochemical properties of the subsurface and monitor hydrochemical exports
Quantities: 3 monitoring wells, 140 m transect length, 10 m depth per wellDuration: One-time installation in September 2016Conditions: Installation prior to winter snow cover
Equipment: drilling equipment, monitoring well equipment, sensors for water pressure, water content, matric potential, temperature
Install floodplain monitoring well
Install monitoring well PLM4 in the floodplain 50 m from the East River, operated to a depth of 1.28 m to characterize floodplain hydrogeochemical conditions
Quantities: 1 monitoring well, 50 m distance from river, 1.28 m depthDuration: One-time installation in September 2016Conditions: Installation prior to winter conditions
Equipment: drilling equipment, monitoring well equipment
Collect water table time series
