Monitoring data from a managed aquifer recharge system that collects stormwater runoff in central coastal California. Precipitation, runoff, infiltration, sediment, survey

This dataset contains six years of monitoring data from a managed aquifer recharge system that collects stormwater runoff. Runoff from a drainage area of 173 acres is diverted into a 4.3-acre infiltration basin. There is a small sediment detention basin that the runoff passes through before reaching the infiltration basin. This dataset includes:

- Raw precipitation records from the field site and daily precipitation records

- Calculations of daily runoff collected (measured as flow rate through a culvert feeding the infiltration basin)

- Mass balance calculations to estimate the average daily infiltration rate

- Field measurements of sediment accumulation throughout the basin

- Survey of the field site (requires the program Surfer to open)

- Grain size data from hundreds of sediment samples collected from throughout the system

- Estimations of daily vertical infiltration rate at three points in the infiltration basin

These data are part of a study was published in Journal of Environmental Management.
