ABSTRACT:

Hydrochemical data of karst springs provide valuable insights into the internal hydrodynamical functioning of karst systems. We develop a method to retrieve the individual ion concentration time series and their uncertainty at high temporal resolution for karst springs by using continuous observations of electrical conductivity (EC) and low-frequency ionic measurements. The method is tested in two karstic catchments with different lithologies and temporal resolution of the available hydrochemical datasets, i.e., the Kerschbaum dolostone system in Austria and the Baget limestone system in France.
The uploaded data include, for each study area, the location of the spring, the extent of the recharge area, the raw data of electrical conductivity and major ion concentrations as well as the intermediate and final results of the EC decomposition method. The structure of the folders is described in detail in the README.txt file.
