Summary

This data release contains geophysical and water-quality property data measured by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) along downstream continuous profiles in surveyed reaches of Elm Brook, Hartwell Brook, and the Shawsheen River near Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts. The geophysical data consist of spatial profiles of waterborne self-potential (WaSP) voltages attributed to changes in electrical potential along the respective reaches of each stream. The water-quality data consist of spatial profiles of temperature, specific conductance, turbidity, pH, and optical dissolved-oxygen concentration measured in situ in the streams on September 8 and September 10, 2023. A 190-meter (m) long reach of Hartwell Brook was surveyed [...]

Purpose

This data release documents the geophysical and water-quality property data that were collected to produce continuous profiles of self-potential voltages and surface-water temperature, specific conductance, turbidity, pH, and optical dissolved oxygen in Elm and Hartwell Brooks and in the Shawsheen River. Data were measured to identify areas of apparent groundwater seepage in the surveyed reaches and gain a better understanding of the surface-water and groundwater exchanges along the surveyed reaches.
