Geochemical data of bottom sediments from a network of drainage canals located in the low-lying coastal area of Ravenna, Italy

This dataset contains all raw geochemical data of bottom sediments from a network of drainage canals located in the low-lying coastal area of Ravenna. The dataset is divided in three separated excel worksheets: - Focus Area. Sediment composition of the 21 sediment samples collected in 2022 in the Focus Area. Refer to Figs. 1 and 2 in the manuscript Giambastiani et al., 2024 for the sample locations. Listed are also other information related to sampling, such as depositional facies (BR: beach ridge deposits; IF: Interfluvial floodplain deposits), distance from the sea, altimetry, amount of fertilizer applied based on the land use, and EC of drainage water. The sediment samples were collected in March 2022 along the drainage system of the lowlying coastal aquifer of Ravenna (Italy) by the authors. - LRC, Land Reclamation Consortium. PTEs composition of the sediment samples of the Land Reclamation Consortium dataset. Refer to Fig. 1 and 2 in the manuscript Giambastiani et al., 2024 for the location. Listed are also other information related to sampling, such as distance from the sea, altimetry, and amount of fertilizer applied based on the land use. The sediment samples were collected since 2010 along the drainage system of the lowlying coastal aquifer of Ravenna (Italy) by The Land Reclamation Consortium of Romagna (Italy). No other uses apart from scientific purpose is allowed without notice to the authors. - Wells. Physical and chemical groundwater parameters of 4 wells localted within the Focus Area. Refer to Fig.2 in the manuscript Giambastiani et al., 2024 for the location. Data were collected during previous studies by Greggio et al. (2020) and reprocessed to obtain vertical profiles of EC, pH, Eh, and chemical concentrations along the coastal aquifer depth. More informations regarding the source, ownership, collection methodologies and analytical techniques are in Giambastiani et al., 2024.
