| Dataset abstract | These are groundwater geochemical data taken from two sites in the Kien Svay district of northern Kandal Province, Cambodia, southeast of Phnom Penh. These sites are referred to as "clay-dominated" and "sand-dominated" in reference to the known lithology and are known for high arsenic concentrations (Richards et al., 2017). Each site contained four 18 m boreholes installed in January 2019 using manual drilling described in Richards et al (2015), spaced evenly about ~1.5 m apart. The boreholes that were located at the clay-dominated site are referred to NB01, NB02, NB03 and NB04. The boreholes that were located at the sand-dominated site are referred to as NB05, NB06, NB07 and NB08. Two sampling campaigns were carried out: 6th-12th May 2019 (pre-monsoon season), and 27th-31st January 2020 (post-monsoon season). This file contains part of the data produced for NERC grant NE/P01304X/1 - called Genetic and molecular basis of organic-arsenic-microbe interactions in arsenic prone aquifers ("GOAM") project. |
