| description | The Varaždin aquifer is the only source of drinking water for inhabitants of the Varaždin County. In the last decades, groundwater contamination with nitrate has become an increasing problem. Therefore, there is a need to define the origin of nitrate as the first step in groundwater remediation. The data in this article consist of δ18O and δ15N values in nitrate in groundwater, and δ15N in solid matter. Groundwater was sampled in the period from April 2018 to December 2019 at 10 different sites by pumping the wells, and directly in the gravel pit in Šijanec. Representative solid samples of plants, soil, manure, and synthetic fertilizers were collected from arable land in two field campaigns (July and October 2019). The presented dataset can be used as a baseline for identification of nitrate sources in groundwater and possible nitrate attenuation processes. The data is related to the research article “Tracking the nitrogen cycle in a vulnerable alluvial system using a multi proxy approach: case study Varaždin alluvial aquifer, Croatia.” [1]. |
