Hydrogeochemical data for groundwater remediation systems in Bihar, India, 2018-2022
This dataset contains water chemistry for inlet samples for remediation systems in Bihar, India and associated remediation system efficiency for arsenic removal. The dataset contains paired inlet-outlet data for 31 household and community groundwater remediation systems of different technology types (split into reverse osmosis/RO and non-reverse osmosis) and settings (household and non-household). The chemical data includes the composition of inlet water (concentrations of Fe, P, As, Ca, Mg, Na and Si) and associated arsenic removal.
This data was generated as part of the Indo-UK Water Quality Programme Project FAR-GANGA (NE/R003386/1 and DST/TM/INDO-UK/2K17/55(C) & 55(G)).

Provenance & quality
A detailed description of the lineage of the data, including QA/QC steps, is included in the relevant publication Richards et al 2022. In brief, water samples were collected from remediation systems primarily in Bihar, India in 2019 as part of a wider groundwater sampling campaign of groundwater across Bihar. Groundwater samples were analysed using in-situ and laboratory techniques; concentrations of Fe, P, As, Ca, Mg, Na and Si were measured in the Manchester Analytical Geochemical Unit at The University of Manchester using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (Agilent 7500cx) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (Perkin-Elmer Optima 5300 dual view).
