Abstract

Indian Boundary Prairies (IBP) is a prairie-wetland complex located in Markham, Illinois, south of Chicago. The prairies are adjacent to residential neighborhoods subject to frequent flooding and bordered by major highways. In September 2020, 10 piezometers, six containing water level sensors (Solinst Levelogger Junior Edge, Model 3001) and four containing water level and electrical conductivity sensors (Solinst Levelogger Edge, Model 3001) were installed across Sundrop Prairie. At the time of piezometer installation, soil cores were also collected, characterized and analyzed for heavy metal concentrations. Each sensor collects a water level measurement every hour. This installation and sampling campaign is a part of larger effort to assess surface water and groundwater dynamics in urban environments. This resource includes approximately 1.5 years of data, from early 2021, shortly after installation of the sensors, until June 2022.
