Hydrogeochemistry Of the Sundre Aquifer, Minot, North Dakota
Abstract
The hydrogeochemistry studied to determine the of the Sundre aquifer was types and extent of formationwater interactions occurring in the system, and to define the geochemical mechanisms responsible for the presence of sulfate in the ground water. It was determined that cation exchange and dedolomitization are occurring within the aquifer. Gypsum, present as an isolated occurrence within the aquifer, is responsible for elevated sulfate concentrations measured, and also acts as the catalyst species in the dedolomitization reactions.
