Fig. 2. Top view of the study site. A and B show the locations where the sieve analyses were carried out. OB1 through OB10 indicate observation wells outside the infiltration field. OBI1 through OBI4 refer to observation wells inside the infiltration field. S1 through S3 show sampling points upgradient, under the infiltration field, and downgradient, respectively. A,B,C designates the place where the cup sampled pore waters were collected during the sampling. B1, B3, B4, B5, and B6 are the locations where soil samples were taken

Fig. 7. Average composition of the pore waters centrifuged from the soil samples taken from three hand auger borings inside (B1, B3, and B6; left) and two outside (B4 and B5; right) the infiltration field. NPOC, non-purgeable organic carbon; MBS, meters below surface; EC, electrical conductivity

Fig. 8. A comparison between the sedimentary organic carbon (OC) of the soil samples measured as acid desorbable organic carbon (ADOC) and given as percent dry weight of the original sample. The soil samples were taken from the unsaturated zone inside (B1 and B3) and outside (B4) the infiltration field from 0.45 to 3.5 meters below surface (MBS)
