This dataset derives from an intensive field experiment that involved the use of time-lapse electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) to track the fate and transport of an injected salt tracer (KBr) in shallow groundwater during a simulated rainfall event (150 mm in 12 hours) in a ditch-drained field. The study was led by a team of researchers from Rutgers University, USDA-ARS, University of Delaware, Morehead State University, and Landcare Research. The research team conducted the experiment in a 1.5-ha agricultural field located on the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Research and Teaching Farm in Princess Anne, MD. The experiment lasted four days (06/20/2022 to 06/23/2022) and focused on a 150-m2 plot that was situated in the southwestern corner of the field near an open drainage ditch. Resources in this dataset include the following:
