Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been carried out investigation to understand the variation of groundwater chemistry related to the shafts construction of Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory (MIU) at Mizunami City, Gifu prefecture, Japan. This report aimed to compile the data of pore water pressure and groundwater chemistry obtained from surface based boreholes, MSB-2 and MSB-4 boreholes with installed continuous monitoring equipment for multi-interval water pressure (MP system, made by westbay company) between the April 2009 and March 2010. Groundwater sampling and measurement of pore water pressure were conducted once in a month. As the result, we could obtain the data of pore water pressure and groundwater chemistry continuously from 2003 and understand their variation related to the shafts construction in 2009.
