This dataset contains field measurements of temperature in shallow vertical profiles beneath a lake-bottom in the vicinity of a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at Ashumet Pond, Falmouth, MA. From August 21, 2015 – September 3, 2015 vertical temperature profilers designed to quantify groundwater upwelling dynamics were installed at seven locations. Hollow stainless steel pipes (2.5 cm OD) were slotted horizontally to allow installation of iButton thermal data loggers (Maxim Integrated DS1922L, 0.0625 oC precision) protected with waterproof silicone caulking. The temperature profilers were gently tapped into the cobbly bed by first driving guide-hole of slightly smaller diameter. After installation, the thermal loggers...

This dataset contains field measurements of direct groundwater seepage by using half-barrel style seepage meters permanently installed in a lake-bottom permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at Ashumet Pond, Falmouth, MA. The meters are a modified version of a standard half-barrel seepage meter. Each meter consists of a 208-L polyethylene, corrosion-inhibiting drum cut to a length of 0.8 m and fitted with a removable 0.56-m-diameter lid. A 1.3-cm-diameter hole was drilled into each lid to allow outflow or inflow to be measured. During installation, the top rim of each barrel was positioned to be at the expected grade after backfilling. Between 2004 and 2015, seepage rates at each meter were measured annually, with the...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release provides a comprehensive dataset of water-quality data and sampling-site characteristics collected in 1978–2018 during a study of the effects of land disposal of treated wastewater on groundwater quality in an unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifer on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Treated sewage-derived wastewater was discharged to rapid-infiltration beds at Joint Base Cape Cod for nearly 60 years before the disposal was moved to a different location in December 1995. The discharge formed a plume of contaminated groundwater that partly discharges to a glacial kettle lake about 1,600 feet from the beds and extends about 4.5 miles toward coastal saltwater bodies at Vineyard Sound....

This data set summarizes measurements of water flux (specific discharge, or Darcy flux, q) made with seepage meters at 27 sites in five ponds on western Cape Cod during August–September 2015. The seepage meters consisted of the cut-off ends of 55-gallon steel drums, as described in Lee (1977) and Rosenberry and LaBaugh (2008). The seepage meters were 0.56 meter in diameter and covered a surface area on the lake bottom of about 0.25 square meter. The data table provides locational information for each seepage-measurement site, including easting and northing, in meters relative to the Massachusetts State Plane coordinate system (North American Datum of 1983); and the approximate lake-water depth, in meters. The data...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides a comprehensive dataset of water-quality results, physical-parameter measurements, hydrologic measurements, and site information collected to study the nature and extent of water quality along groundwater flow paths adjacent to glacial-kettle lakes on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Water-quality samples were collected in 2003, 2005, and 2012 through 2018 in and near seven kettle lakes located on western Cape Cod, with most of the data collected in 2015-2017 from Ashumet Pond, which is located in the towns of Falmouth and Mashpee. Data were also collected at other lakes to compare the lake-specific influences of geochemistry and hydrology on the downgradient groundwater...

This data set summarizes seepage rates calculated from the lake-bottom temperature data as described in child item "Calculations of lake-bottom seepage rates from vertical temperature profiles at four groundwater flow-through glacial kettle lakes, western Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2016–18." The data table provides locational information for each site, including easting and northing, in meters relative to the Massachusetts State Plane coordinate system (North American Datum of 1983); approximate distance from shoreline, in meters; and approximate lake-water depth, in meters. The data table also provides the arithmetic average and standard deviation of temperature-derived seepage rate for each time series (in .csv...
Hydrologic data were collected in the nearshore lake-bottom sediments of five lakes on western Cape Cod, Massachusetts: Ashumet (Falmouth), Long (Centerville), Santuit (Mashpee), Shubael (Barnstable), and Snake (Sandwich) Ponds. Water budgets of flow-through glacial kettle lakes are commonly dominated by groundwater flow into and surface-water seepage out of the lake, and inputs and losses from precipitation and evaporation are typically smaller. This data release presents water flux data collected from sites at the five lakes where lake water is seeping downward across the groundwater/surface-water interface into the groundwater system. Detailed characterization of water flux across the lake-bottom interface is...

This data set contains one-dimensional water flux (specific discharge, or Darcy flux, q) data calculated from vertical temperature profile data. The flux was calculated from paired time series of temperature from the shallowest and the deepest iButton loggers at each site described in child item "Field measurements of lake-bottom groundwater temperatures from vertical temperature profiles at four groundwater flow-through glacial kettle lakes, western Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2016–18" by using the automated VFLUX software (version 2.0.0) run in Matlab. VFLUX 2.0.0 can be downloaded for free at http://hydrology.syr.edu/vflux/. The data are presented as time-varying continuous records of flux calculated by three methods:...

This data release includes geospatial datasets, comma separated values (.csv) files, and associated FGDC-compliant metadata representing data collected between 2004 and 2015 as part of a study of groundwater/surface-water interaction in the area of a lake-bottom permeable reactive barrier at Ashumet Pond, Falmouth, Massachusetts. The data sets are organized by type: (1) Fiber-Optic Distributed Temperature Sensing (FO-DTS) measurements of lake-bottom groundwater temperatures collected May 30-31, 2007, (2) Seepage meter data collected between November 2004 and August 2015, (2) Vertical temperature profile data collected between August 21, 2015 and September 3, 2015, and (4) Lakebed temperature measurements collected...

This data release provides analytical and other data in support of an analysis of nitrogen transport and transformation in groundwater and in a subterranean estuary in the Eel River and onshore locations on the Seacoast Shores peninsula, Falmouth, Massachusetts. The analysis is described in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2018-5095 by Colman and others (2018). This data release is structured as a set of comma-separated values (CSV) files, each of which contains data columns for laboratory (if applicable), USGS Site Name, date sampled, time sampled, and columns of specific analytical and(or) other data. The .csv data files have the same number of rows and each row in each .csv file corresponds...

Temperature sensors were installed in the lake-bottom sediments of Ashumet, Long (Centerville), Santuit, and Shubael Ponds, all on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, three times during 2016–18 to obtain shallow vertical temperature profiles. The sensors were installed at 11 sites from July 27 to October 13, 2016; 10 sites from September 19 to October 11, 2017; and 2 sites from February 13 to February 23, 2018. The vertical temperature profilers are designed to collect temperature data at different depths in the lake-bottom sediments for the calculation of downward groundwater seepage rates, as described in child item "Calculations of lake-bottom seepage rates from vertical temperature profiles at four groundwater flow-through...
