Kampoosa Bog Project

Kampoosa Bog is a 465 ha wetland complex located in Stockbridge-Lee MA that is currently being impacted by road salt pollution. In an effort to understand the impacts of road salt on the water quality and vegetation in the wetland, the Mass DOT and Department of Fish and Wildlife have collaborated with engineers at the University of Massachusetts to monitor the water quality at gauge stations (KB100, KB150, KB300) within the Kampoosa watershed. At these gauge stations water flow, water temperature and specific conductance are recorded at a 15 minute interval as of Nov 2017.

install.packages(c("tidyverse", "readxl", "lubridate", "anytime", 
"gtools", "zoo", "stringr", "forecast", "fable", "kernlab", "ggthemr",
"ggthemes", "ggpubr", "rrandomcoloR",  "gridExtra", "ggpattern",

Analysis

Steps for each analysis are explained as commented code in all the documents.

To reproduce analysis, follow these these guidelines:

  1. Run stream_weather to upload raw data and calculate daily, monthly and annual summaries for weather and stream gauges.

  2. Run groundwater_wells.R to extract grab sample chloride concentrations at wells A, B and C.

  3. Run salt_application_full.R to calculate chloride mass balance for 2012 - 2020.

  4. Run long_term_chloride_steady_state.R to calculate changes in chloride steady state concentration (2012 - 2019)

  5. Run visuals.R to reproduce all visuals in manuscript.

Results from running visuals.R are stored in the results folder as either tables or visuals
