Hydrogeochemistry and Occurrence of Selenium in the Garber-wellington Aquifer, Central Oklahoma
Abstract
The hydrogeochemistry of the Garber-Wellington Aquifer was studied to determine the types and extent of formation-water interactions occurring in the system and to define the geochemical mechanism responsible for the release of selenium into the ground water. It was determined that principal water types are calcium-magnesium-bicarbonate and sodium-bicarbonate. Selenium is present in the ground water in areas where the pH of the water is high, enabLing oxidation of the selenite ion, which is norm�ally found adsorbed, to selenate, which is mobile.
