Hydrogeochemical Interpretation and Computer Simulation of the Sundre Aquifer, Minot, North Dakota
Abstract
The Sundre aquifer was studied in order to determine the source of the sulfate, which occurs in concentrations over 1,000 mgjl. An analytical version of the solutetransport model "Random-Walk" was used to simulate the movement of sulfate in the sundre aquifer. The sulfate was determined to be the result of the oxidation of organic sulfides, present in the till which mantles the bedrock. The analytical version of the solute-transport model was not capable of predicting sulfate levels in the Sundre well field.
