▼ Availability of data and information on groundwater is important for sustainable utilization of groundwater resources. Its assessment, development, utilization and management largely depend on data acquisition; the aspect often overlooked or inconsistently carried out in most groundwater development projects in Zambia. The study attempts to develop a model for data acquisition procedure that recognizes three sets of groundwater data and information that need to be collected in a participatory approach in the urban and rural areas of Zambia. The data sets are hydro geological, groundwater quality and groundwater levels. Acquisition of these data sets is approached in two levels. Firstly, collection of the data sets as one entity with the involvement of stakeholders for potential use to support sustainable groundwater resources utilization. Secondly, development of the mechanism as well as tools to facilitate data collection, transmission, storage, analysis and dissemination. The methodology begins from an explicitly empirical conception of using the data set relations to investigate the quantity and quality of groundwater resources. Furthermore, it examines the nature of failure to collect groundwater data and information in Zambia, which has arisen due to mechanisms as well as tools for data acquisition that are weak, inappropriate or non-existent. The approach gives insight into some of the technical standards and regulations required to guide groundwater development and ensure submission of such data and information to relevant institutions. Groundwater occurrence, diversity, abstraction, replenishment and storage have been investigated in the study areas using data sets proposed for acquisition. Groundwater data and information captured with inclusion of global positioning system (GPS), shows that the approach would render existing hydro geological data useful for various analyzes. The main aspects in the collection of the data sets at national scale must: 1)recognize the borehole completion report form as official for collection of hydro geological data; 2)evaluate groundwater quality during construction of every borehole as a national interest, 3)ensure regular water quality evaluation and groundwater level measurement for selected aquifers as well as the national groundwater observation network to provide data to the National Groundwater Data Base to facilitate efficient resource management, 4)Incorporate a borehole numbering system based on the surface water basin blocks in the Zambezi and Congo River Basins, to facilitate sustainable groundwater resources development that recognizes surface and groundwater interaction.The thesis, through evaluation of past and current groundwater development approaches highlights the method used to collect data in the study areas, providing insight that data must be collected in the same manner from boreholes constructed in urban and rural areas of Zambia, as a way of promoting systematic data capture, as well as a better understanding of the economic value of groundwater…

▼ The hydrologic function of a landscape is an important concept for understanding the presence, movement and availability of water. The Camp Creek Paired Watershed Study (CCPWS) site in Central Oregon has been utilized to investigate the impacts of western juniper on watershed hydrologic function since 1993. The research presented here builds upon the work done at the CCPWS to further investigate the hydrologic connections and gain a better understanding of the underlying hydrogeologic system in and surrounding the CCPWS site. This thesis is organized into two chapters. Each chapter is an individual manuscript detailing a portion of the overall study. The overarching goal of both chapters was to increase the base of understanding of surface water and groundwater interactions, subsurface hydrologic connections and the understanding of the role of local hydrogeology in a semiarid system in central Oregon. Both chapters are being prepared for journal submission. Hydrologic connectivity is the flow of surface water and subsurface water throughout a landscape [1] and is important for a wide variety of ecosystem services. Most investigations of hydrologic connectivity have focused on forested environments and more humid settings. This study investigated subsurface hydrologic connectivity in a semiarid rangeland system. Chapter one discusses the movement of both surface and subsurface water within the CCPWS and characterizes the temporary hydrologic connections present and looks at the impact of vegetation canopy cover on those connections. The objectives of this study were to 1) assess surface water and groundwater interactions in one watershed with juniper and one with juniper removed; and, 2) characterize the hydrologic connectivity of upland watersheds and the riparian valley below them. The hydrogeologic framework of an area describes the structure and properties of a groundwater system. This framework helps us to understand the way water moves through the subsurface and its availability for human and ecosystem needs. A wide-ranging study of groundwater system of the Upper Deschutes Basin was completed in 2002 [2]. However, the southeastern portion of the basin was left out of the larger basin wide study and many of the finer details of the system were not captured at this coarse scale. A better understanding of the hydrogeology in the area surrounding the CCPWS helps to place the more than 20 years of hydrologic research at this site into a proper context for further research and application. Chapter two describes the local hydrogeology of a region of interest in the southeast portion of the Upper Deschutes Basin. A combination of field data collection and synthesis of existing hydrogeologic data were used for this study. Study objectives were to 1) characterize the hydrogeologic framework of an area of interest surrounding the CCPWS; and, 2) evaluate mechanisms of shallow aquifer recharge and discharge at the CCPWS.

▼ The highlands falling within the project area represent part of the southeastern central Ethiopian plateau including Arsi, Bale and parts of southwestern margin of the project area also extend to adjoining areas of Sidama Zone in South Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State. The Wabe river originates just east of Wetera Resa Village in South Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regional State. All the study area is covered by Tertiary and Quaternary volcanics. Tertiary volcanics of the pre-rift and post-pift cover large part of the area. The Pre-Rift succession represented by Alaji basalt, alkali trachyte flows, and alkali trachyte and basalt flows and the Post-Rift volcanic succession including alkaline to peralkaline basalts and trachytes. The Quaternary Volcanics represented by Ginir Volcanics and basalt, often scoriaceous, with minor cinder cones and vitric tuffs. These volcanic rocks are topped by Plio-Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine sedimentary sequence. Most central part of the area covered by Post-Rrift succession of the Nazarath group volcanic rocks. Groundwater recharge is estimated by applying three methods; base flow separation, water balance and soil moisture balance methods. Drainage-area ratio extrapolating method between the drainage area of the gauged sub-catchment and ungauged sub catchment is employed to estimate the discharge of the river at the delineated mouth of the river. Recharge estimated by flow separation method is more than seven fold greater than recharge estimated by soil moisture and water balance methods. The composition of the majority of the highland volcanic plateau is silicate minerals of mostly plagioclase feldspars of the albite and anorthite group and pyroxene composition. These minerals are rich in Ca, Mg and Na. Hydrolysis, decomposition and/or leaching of these silicate minerals enriches the water in the highlands by Ca, Mg, and Na cations. In the study area most water types obtained from laboratory analyses have low TDS and based on cation composition Ca-Na-HCO3 is the dominant water type followed by Na-Ca-HCO3 evolving down the flow path to dominantly Na-Ca-HCO3 water. Concerning water quality criteria for drinking and irrigation purposes the water from the area fits the standard quality. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Seifu Kebede (advisor).

▼ The Lake Tana sub basin is situated on the northwestern plateau of Ethiopia at the headwaters of the Blue-Nile basin, west of the Afar depression. The drainage area of the lake is approximately 15,000 square kilometers, of which 3062 is the lake area. Topographic high surrounding the basin forces the major River systems to drain toward Lake Tana. The altitude of the basin ranges between 1765m to 3000 m a.m.s.l. The climate of the region is ‘tropical highland monsoon’ with one rainy season between June and September. The rainfall data for 23 long-term records of rainfall stations lying within or around the Tana sub Basin are used for the computation of rainfall. The Tana sub Basin receives an average annual rainfall of 1329 mm. The air temperature shows small seasonal changes with an annual average of 20˚C. The major geological formations that outcrops in Lake Tana sub-basin and its adjacent areas are Tertiary and Quaternary volcanic rocks and alluvial along the major tributaries of the Lake Tana sub-basin. Alluvial sediments have limited distribution within Lake Tana sub-basin dominant at the eastern and northern side of the Lake. The understanding and knowledge of hydrology and hydrogeologic systems is very crucial for every activities involving economic development in the Lake Tana sub basin. Groundwater recharge is one of the most important factors governing the sustainable yield of groundwater and surface water exploitation. The recharge estimation of the Lake Tana sub basin was carried out based on the principle of base flow separation using HMS – SMA for gauged catchments on daily bases. The hydrological and meteorological data used for the period of 1992 to 2006. StatistiXL Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the runoff for ungauged catchments. A level of significance of 0.05 was used for the forward and backwards stepwise regressions. Climate and physical characteristics of the catchments were used in multiple regression to predict the flow characteristics of ungauged catchments. The amount of rainfall, topographic setting and geology are the main controlling factors of climate and physical characteristics of the catchments. The groundwater contribution from gauged catchments is about 161.17mm/yr or 12.1% of the total rainfall of the basin. The ungauged catchments contribute a total of 28.18 mm/yr or 2.28% of the total rainfall of the basin. Advisors/Committee Members: Seifu Kebede (PhD) (advisor).

▼ The Peterborough Drumlin Field in southern Ontario, Canada (PDF; Crozier 1975, Karrow 1981, Boyce and Eyles 1991) is a well-documented and extensive drumlin field that hosts many communities dependent upon groundwater resources. Population growth in the area and concerns for the long-term sustainability of these resources has prompted considerable interest in determining the location, extent and potential productivity of subsurface aquifers in the region. The origin of the drumlins within the PDF is still widely debated, despite many years of study, and there is little understanding of the nature, geometry, and connectivity of aquifers within the Quaternary-age sediments beneath the drumlins. This study involves detailed analysis of sedimentological data available from water well logs from selected drumlins and adjacent low areas (swales) in the PDF. These data are used to investigate the subsurface stratigraphy of the drumlins, contribute to the understanding of drumlin formation, and establish hydrogeological characteristics of drumlins within the PDF. A relatively consistent subsurface stratigraphy can be identified in the studied drumlins consisting of patchy units of sand and gravel overlying a southward sloping bedrock surface, a thick diamict (till) package containing discontinuous coarse-grained sand and gravel units, and surface veneers of sand, silt or clay in low areas (swales) between drumlins. This subsurface stratigraphy can be traced between drumlins and adjacent swales and suggests that the drumlins within the PDF formed largely as a result of subglacial erosion of pre-existing sediment. Two major aquifers can be identified beneath the PDF from the water well records; one is a basal aquifer within fractured bedrock and overlying coarse-grained sands and gravels, and the second (upper aquifer) is formed by the discontinuous zone of sands and gravels within till. These coarse-grained interbeds within the till allow it to function as a ‘leaky aquitard’ and produce groundwater flow pathways that are not easy to predict, may not be high-yielding, and may be susceptible to anthropogenic sources of contamination; these characteristics will likely prevent further development of this aquifer for multi-user (communal) water supply. The Hiawatha First Nations (HFN) community is located within the Peterborough Drumlin Field and has been attempting to find a more sustainable, and possibly communal, groundwater supply in the drumlizined terrain. Examination of lithological and hydrogeological data from water well records together with information obtained from four recently drilled on-site wells allowed for a detailed analysis of the till stratigraphy within this portion of the drumlin field. The stratigraphy identified at this site is consistent with that identified elsewhere in the PDF and a basal bedrock aquifer and an upper discontinuous Quaternary aquifer can be discriminated. It is recommended that the HFN community continue to upgrade/maintain individual private wells in the discontinuous… Advisors/Committee Members: Eyles, Carolyn, Earth and Environmental Sciences.

▼ An analytical model is presented for the interpretation of pumping tests conducted in a fractured rock aquifer. The solution accommodates multiple horizontal fractures intersecting pumping and observation wells with interconnecting vertical fracture features. The uppermost horizontal fracture is connected via this fracture network to a free surface boundary. Wellbore storage is included at the pumping and observation wells using an approximate superposition technique and the solution is derived using the Laplace transform method. Evaluation is performed by numerical inversion using the Talbot algorithm. Sensitivity of the model to the governing hydraulic parameters for both pumping and observation well data is presented for a realistic range of values for fractured rock. A field example is given to demonstrate the application of the model and to explore the uniqueness of the interpreted values. Based on the results obtained using the present analytical model, estimation of unique values of the vertical hydraulic parameters in a sedimentary rock setting may not be possible using pumping test results. Subsequently, measuring aquifer properties from various testing methods was investigated to explore the significance of fracture heterogeneities relative to tested volumes and to determine which testing methods were capable of producing reliable parameter estimates. The hydrogeological study was performed in a fractured sedimentary rock aquifer using four different field testing methods: constant head tests, pulse interference tests, 12-hour isolated interval pumping tests and 48-hour open-hole pumping tests. Particular emphasis was placed on the reliable estimation of vertical hydraulic parameters in this setting. The evaluation of the pumping test data was performed using the analytical model derived earlier to determine whether the new pumping test model could produce confident estimates of vertical hydraulic parameters. While estimates of horizontal hydraulic conductivity measurements were not affected by test method, open-well pumping tests do not appear able to predict values of vertical hydraulic conductivity and specific yield. Alternatively, pulse interference tests may be a less time-intensive option to constant head injection tests for determining vertical parameters in a sedimentary rock setting.

▼ In California, a vast population and agricultural industry rely on groundwater for their main water supply source. Recent drought conditions have placed a higher demand on groundwater resources, and in order to preserve this resource for future use, groundwater must be managed carefully. In areas where oil fields are located, there is concern that petroleum extraction operations and produced wastewater disposal are negatively impacting groundwater that may qualify as protected. To protect these waters, it is essential to know their location and extent. To accomplish this, we develop maps that locate the distribution of groundwater containing less than 10,000 parts per million (ppm) total dissolved solids (TDS) since these waters are more likely to qualify as protected. To map groundwater TDS at the Midway-Sunset oil field, we use the Stephens et al., [2018] method which relies on produced water geochemical measurements, TDS calculated using the RP method, and ordinary kriging. However, unlike the areas mapped by Stephens et al., [2018], the Midway-Sunset oil field presents unique challenges to mapping groundwater TDS. At the Midway-Sunset oil field, decades of enhanced oil recovery operations have led to significant variations in the geothermal gradient, while detrital diatomite in the sediments causes geophysical porosity logs to overestimate total porosity. This is a problem because TDS calculations require resistivity, temperature, and porosity data. The following thesis addresses these challenges to mapping groundwater TDS at Midway-Sunset in several key ways. Thermal effects from enhanced oil recovery were removed by only considering a subset of wells that were unaffected by thermal processes while three different porosity models were developed and tested for different regions of the field in order to remedy the diatomite-porosity-problem. The resulting calculated TDS values were then combined with existing geochemical measurements of TDS and kriged to generate salinity maps and cross sections for the Midway-Sunset oil field. In the northern portion of the field, the TDS maps and cross sections reveal that the depth to the 10,000 ppm TDS boundary extends to greater than ~-1500 feet elevation, while in the southern region the boundary is much shallower, with a maximum depth of ~150 feet elevation. In the study area, stratigraphy, faults, and freshwater recharge appear to control the distribution of groundwater TDS. Advisors/Committee Members: Shimabukuro, David.

▼ The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony (RSIC) has reservation land located on 1,960 acres in Hungry Valley, Washoe County, Nevada; located approximately 10 miles north of Reno. Future growth of the community is dependent on sustainable groundwater development. Previous hydrogeologic assessments and pumping tests have consistently concluded that the aquifers are of limited extent. The aquifers are characterized by low transmissivities with storativity values indicating the aquifers to be confined. Groundwater pumping began in 1991 and a decline in static water levels began to occur. With an alternate pumping strategy implemented in 2004 and additional production wells implemented in 2005 static water levels have improved and most appear to have stabilized with measurements taken through March 2010. There are currently four production wells: Well Nos. 4, 5, 7 and 8. The objective of this groundwater flow model is to develop optimization strategies to maintain the static water levels as high as possible, minimize the cost of groundwater pumping, and keep arsenic levels below drinking water standards (through blending of pumped groundwater), while meeting the supply needs of the RSIC. The modeling protocol according to Anderson and Woessner (2002) was generally followed to develop the model; and the construction of the model was accomplished through the GMS User Interface for MODFLOW. Optimization was performed using a trial and error approach. The model results indicate that a pumping scenario of 70% for Well Nos. 7 and 8 and 30% for Well Nos. 4 and 5 appears to balance drawdowns in the two aquifers. Additionally, it appears that the pumping average from 2000 through 2009 (excluding 2005) of 193 cubic meters/day (57 acre-feet per year) can be supported by the current well field. Future water demand, estimated to be 243 cubic meters/day (72 acre-feet per year), can also supported by the current well field with additional decreases in static water levels. This decrease in static water levels is modeled to be greatest at Well Nos. 4 and 5 at 3.7 meters and can be minimized by utilizing Well No. 3 as a production well and/or considering an additional production well.

▼ Collector well designs are necessary to maximize groundwater uptake and riverbank filtration without negatively impacting an aquifer. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information and research regarding the implementation of collector well design parameters. In the past, collector well installation was too costly, but recent advances in well technology have made collector wells more cost effective. This research will contribute a set of guidelines to optimize riverbank filtration and groundwater remediation. This study models the hydrodynamics surrounding collector well configurations in riverbank filtration and groundwater remediation. Visual Modflow® was utilized to run a variety of numerical models to test four areas: flux along the laterals of a collector well, collector well interactions with a river, collector well yield, and collector well remediation capability. The two design parameters investigated were lateral length (25 m, 50 m, and 100 m) and number of laterals (3 and 4). The lateral flux tests confirm flux increases towards the terminal end of each lateral and pumping rate is the controlling factor in flux amount obtained along the laterals. The analysis of the flux-river interaction shows the main factor in determining flux amount is the initial river geometry, followed by the pumping rate, regional background flow, and collector well design, respectively. The models suggest that the 4-lateral collector well design is more effective than the 3-lateral design and in addition, 100 meter length laterals provide the highest amount of yield with the least amount of drawdown. The remediation tests investigate the application of vertical well equations to evaluate collector well designs in two areas: minimum pumping rate to capture line source of particles and first arrival time of particles. The remediation models show 100 meter length laterals provide both the lowest pumping rate and the highest residence time with the surrounding aquifer for maximum remediation. Ultimately, these models provide basic design guidelines and explain which designs are most effective, depending on the collector well purpose.

▼ Subduction zone fluids and fluid pressure distribution exert fundamental controls on the transport of heat and volatiles, and their associated distribution throughout the forearc. Additionally, excess fluid pressures have been proposed as a mechanism governing fault slip behavior, including their association with slow-slip events (SSE), episodic tremor and slip (ETS) and very-low frequency earthquakes throughout the conditionally stable region of the outer forearc. Fluid pressures develop as subducted sediments compact during tectonic burial, and through the production of dehydration derived fluids at depths associated with higher temperatures, and low porosity. Due to their production in a low porosity environment, the dehydration sources have an enhanced potential for pressurization, and the location of these reactions is therefore critical to understanding the mechanical strength of the plate boundary décollement, as it is mediated by the fluid pressure distribution. In an effort to further our understanding of fluid distribution in the forearc, I first develop a fluid budget using a numerical model parameterized by a combination of data obtained through ocean drilling, and laboratory testing of recovered sediments, which estimate the compaction behavior during subduction, and associated permeability reduction. Previous efforts to quantify the fluid budget did not include permeable splay faults, despite geochemical and geophysical evidence that they represent regions of focused flow, and provide a hydraulic connection from the source of fluids at the plate boundary, to the seafloor. The model results suggest that faults capture up to 35% of the total flux, and modeled flow rates are highly consistent with studies of both seafloor seeps, and flow at the trench, suggesting a quantitative link between the underlying permeability architecture of the forearc and flow rates at the seafloor. The results highlight the importance of these features in efficiently channeling heat and solutes from depth. iii The second study examines the importance of faults in the determining the distribution of fluid pressures and deeply sourced fluids by coupling the results of dehydration modeling with a flow and transport model. The dehydration derived freshwater effectively acts as a tracer to consider the role of faults in distributing deeply sourced fluids, and translating fluid pressures away from the plate boundary. Model results indicate that faults are efficient translators of fluids, and capture deeply sourced fluids before they reach the trench. Overpressures develop at the base of the slope sediments, regardless of the permeability architecture employed, suggesting a potential mechanism for the formation of mud volcanoes, spatially correlated with faults that penetrate the forearc. The results of a comprehensive heat-flow campaign offshore Costa Rica suggests plate boundary temperatures are much lower than previously thought, with dehydration reactions shifted farther down-dip, into regions of further depleted porosity.

▼ In recent years, annual and diurnal variations in aquifer temperature have increasingly been used to investigate surface-water-ground-water interactions. This thesis represents three separate but related investigations into the value of annual temperature in characterizing and quantifying infiltration from surface-water bodies. Currently, there is a great deal of interest in the exchange between the Rio Grande and the underlying aquifer in Albuquerque, New Mexico so that surface stream depletion can be properly estimated. The USGS has collected temperature time series in a series of piezometers along a profile perpendicular to the river to characterize horizontal flow. The current method for interpreting these data is to calibrate a 2-D numerical model of the aquifer, a process that can be time-consuming. We propose that a simple 1-D analytical solution can be used to estimate horizontal flux through an aquifer based on temperature variations. This analytical model does not fully represent all of the factors that contribute to aquifer temperature signals, but in many cases it may represent the system sufficiently well to produce a useful estimate of ground-water flux. At the Mohawk River site near Schenectady, NY, a large number of wells drilled to characterize induced infiltration have permitted spatially extensive measurements of the annual variation in aquifer temperature. These data show a zone of high temperature variation caused by a plume of infiltrated river water pulled towards municipal supply wells. The aquifer at the site is highly transmissive, so we developed a method-of-characteristics, particle-tracking code to model the advection-dominated thermal transport. Our model of the site shows that the plume of high temperature variation is caused by aquifer thickening over a known bedrock depression. The annual temperature variation data were also sensitive to the magnitude and spatial variation of the riverbed conductance. The results of this study suggest that numerical modeling is required to fully understand temperature data collected in aquifers with complex geometries. If the spatial distribution of temperature measurements is sufficiently dense, then high transmissivity zones acting as preferential flow paths for infiltrated surface-water can be identified. A limitation of this method is that ground-water temperature can be measured only in wells or in natural discharge points. For some shallow aquifers, however, this temperature reversal can be seen in temperature measurements taken in shallow soil borings. By collecting temperature data in a large number of shallow soil borings, preferential flow paths in shallow soil borings can be mapped. In this paper we model soil temperature variations, investigate the range of conditions under which aquifer temperature variations can be detected, and demonstrate the technique with a data set from a site along the Mohawk River near Schenectady, New York.

▼ The objective of this study was to examine the effect of heat on the growth of a biofilm in a parallel glass plate fracture table. Groundwater was collected from a limestone aquifer and amended with a nutrient mixture to stimulate the indigenous microbial population. The amended water was heated to approximately 30 °C in an upgradient reservoir attached to the fracture table and recirculated through the 2-m long, 0.6-m wide, parallel glass plate fracture having an approximate fracture aperture of 2000 μm. The fracture was maintained at approximately 10 °C to simulate natural in situ groundwater temperature and the upgradient reservoir maintained at 30 °C. Geochemical parameters and bacterial counts were measured regularly throughout the biostimulation to monitor biofilm growth in the fracture. Hydraulic tests and tracer experiments completed before and after the biostimulation were used as the primary indicators of the successful bioclogging of the fracture. Geochemical parameters measured throughout the trial revealed an increasingly reducing environment capable of supporting the development of a diverse biofilm. Direct and indirect bacterial counts revealed the dominant bacteria within the system included common groundwater bacteria pseudonomads, enteric, and slime-forming bacteria. Heterotrophic bacteria were also present in significant concentrations. Visible clusters of biofilm were observed on Day 2 of the trial with a fully-connected biofilm observed by Day 7. The biofilm impacted the groundwater flow through the fracture resulting in an approximately 2.75-hour delay in the tracer’s breakthrough during the tracer experiment completed on Day 13 of the trial compared to an experiment conducted during the initial stages of biofilm development. Based on the results of the tracer experiment, the biofilm growth reduced the velocity of the groundwater by 9.8%, the fracture aperture by 37.8%, and increased the bulk dispersivity to 50mm. Recommendations for future work include the application of heated biostimulation at the field scale in a well-characterized, isolated fracture.

▼ A research project was undertaken to delineate aquifers in Beaufort West. Recent studies in the Karoo Basin utilised geochemistry indicators to differentiate between shallow and deep groundwater. The shale gas exploration studies in particular focused more on regional scale assessments. The opportunity existed to apply these methods on a local well field scale. The current local scale studies have been mainly limited to consultants’ reports with resource management limited to basic well field scale monitoring and interpretation. The problem with the current local scale approach is that well fields are operated on a “sustainable yield” level based on available fracture storage. Lateral inflows and outflows are not considered. The field work conducted at Beaufort West municipal well fields presented an opportunity to utilise available data and information to spatially characterise the groundwater, as well as to delineate a) flow directions, and b) potential compartments in the shallow aquifer. A better understanding of the flow dynamics is essential to improve the overall resource management and subsequent decision making. Geohydrological data was collected through several phases of fieldwork conducted for the Beaufort West Municipality. All existing data and information were collated into a comprehensive database. Maps were produced to spatially identify trends in the respective datasets. A good correlation was observed between borehole yields and transmissivity. High yielding boreholes are present in the municipal well field areas, although there is no clear relation between the borehole yields and the lithology, rather to the occurrence of secondary flow paths in the different formations. The degree of fracturing seems to dictate the successfulness of boreholes rather than the lithology. A good correlation was also observed between recharge and EC. The areas with lower ECs generally have either higher recharge rates or more localised recharge or a combination of the two. The inverse is observed for poorer quality groundwater where the recharge is likely to be less and more delayed within the unsaturated zone. A groundwater level contour grid was compiled over the study area to assist with the delineation of groundwater flow paths and groundwater compartments, originating from dolerite intrusions. Eight groundwater compartments were identified. A conceptual model in the form of a N – S section through the Town compartment was compiled to illustrate the groundwater flow regime in the compartment. Based on the interpretation of the isotope data, shallow and deeper groundwater flow systems were identified. The shallow groundwater system is linked to meteoric water, whilst the deeper groundwater system appears to be linked to connate water. The Beaufort West Spring, a fracture guided artesian spring related to the contact of the Teekloof formation and the Town dyke, is linked to the confined deeper groundwater system, whilst the bulk of the municipal abstraction is from the shallow system.

▼ Formations of hypoxia in Corpus Christi Bay (CCB) and algal blooms in the Upper Laguna Madre have become a concern as they have cyclically surfaced during the late spring through the fall months. The semi-arid climate of South Texas experiences limited precipitation and surface freshwater inflows, which in turn would point to non-riverine sources such as groundwater as a contributor to the overall nutrient budget. Groundwater has a tendency to accumulate high concentrations of nutrients and organic matter. Despite the potential impact that submarine groundwater discharge (SGD, including groundwater discharge and sediment fluxes) has on estuary systems worldwide, this input has not been well understood. The objective of this study is to use a combination of geophysical and geochemical techniques to enhance the understanding of spatial and temporal occurrence of SGD and related nutrient fluxes and the effects of these inputs on the hypoxia formation in a semiarid estuarine system. Results from multiple continuous electrical resistivity (ER) profiles, spanning from near shore to 2 km offshore, were used to characterize subsurface hydrogeologic heterogeneity and select sampling sites for nutrient and SGD analyses during three seasonal events (winter, summer, and fall). SGD measurements were conducted at three locations using both continuous ER and radon measurements. During summer and late fall, SGD rates show large spatial variances, with the highest average discharge rates measured at the Oso Bay (a secondary bay) inlet (13.1 m3/mˑd), followed by Shamrock Island (2.6 m3/mˑd) and Laguna Madre inlet (1.1 m3/mˑd). On average, SGD rates were higher during late fall (6.5 m3/mˑd) than summer (4.7 m3/mˑd). As a result of higher SGD rates and more enriched nutrient levels in porewater, nutrient fluxes during fall are one order of magnitude higher than summer. Based on the good spatial correlation between dissolved oxygen levels and high 222Rn-derived nutrient fluxes, this study indicates that SGD is not only a significant contributor to the nutrient budget but there is also a possible correlation between these inputs, algal blooms, and hypoxia.

▼ The continental shelf offshore Massachusetts, USA experienced repeated glaciations throughout the late Pleistocene that emplaced freshwater and generated overpressure in the shelf sediments that still remains offshore. To show this, I processed and interpreted high-resolution, multi-channel seismic data that was collected offshore Massachusetts to infer the glacial history and to incorporate the glacial history into numerical modeling. Interpretations of the seismic data reveal the shelf stratigraphy and the location of a late Pleistocene (Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 12) ice sheet. The ice sheet extended 100 km farther onto the shelf compared to the Laurentide ice sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). It also contained an ice stream that was likely sourced from the Gulf of Maine. I show that the late Pleistocene ice sheet influenced the shelf hydrogeology by generating overpressure and emplacing freshwater into the shelf sediments. Overpressure is modeled in 1D from high-resolution, full-waveform inversion p-wave velocities obtained from the seismic data and from a finite-difference fluid flow model that accounts for sedimentation and ice sheet loading. The results demonstrate how loading from the late Pleistocene ice sheet caused focused fluid flow that created localized zones of overpressure nearly 1-2 MPa in offshore sediments. Freshwater emplacement into shelf sediments is estimated with a finite-element, variable-density model of fluid flow and heat and solute transport that accounts for ice-sheet loading and sea-level change. The model helps explain how the late Pleistocene ice sheet emplaced nearly 100 km3 of freshwater into the sediments. Our results thus integrate seismic interpretations of ice sheet history with numerical techniques of fluid flow modeling to show how the past glacial history influenced the present freshwater distribution.

▼ Excess fluoride in drinking water is a serious health risk in many parts of the world – particularly in developing countries. Unfortunately, removing excess fluoride from drinking water can be costly and, as a result, beyond the capacity of many poor communities. The health impacts of those who consume high fluoride water over several years range from mild dental fluorosis, which is cosmetic, to crippling skeletal fluorosis, which is disabling. This research addresses the problem of dental fluorosis in an area of northern Ghana with pockets of high fluoride groundwater, which is the primary source of drinking water. It investigates the viability of using laterite collected in the study area and Ghanaian bauxite, for use in low-cost, small-scale fluoride adsorption filters. It also considers whether activated alumina would be a more appropriate sorbent, though the cost would be notably higher since it must be purchased and imported. The possibility of delivering alternative, untreated low fluoride water to fluoridic areas is evaluated as well. In addition to addressing the ongoing challenge of providing clean and reliable sources of drinking water in rural northern Ghana, this research documents the distribution of dental fluorosis in the study area and estimates daily fluoride intake from drinking water and food, in order to determine whether the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended limit of 1.5 mg L-1 for fluoride in drinking water is appropriate for Ghana, which is hot year-round and where water consumption is expected to be high.The laboratory results indicate that, at the pH of the local groundwater (~7) and equal sorbent-to-solution ratios of 6.67 g L-1, activated alumina is notably better at adsorbing fluoride than bauxite or laterite, and bauxite is slightly better than laterite. Activated alumina has the advantage of a high surface area and high fluoride adsorption at pH 6-7. Bauxite is a very good sorbent per unit area but is limited by a low surface area and adsorbs fluoride best at pH <6. Laterite has higher surface area than bauxite but, due to its mineralogy, adsorbs best at pH <4.5. The field data collected in the study area identified communities with high fluoride (3.1-4.5 mg L-1) and low fluoride (<0.5 mg L-1) groundwater. Bongo granite is the source of groundwater fluoride, and concentrations decrease with distance from granitic areas. The low fluoride areas may be good locations for collecting groundwater and piping to communities with high fluoride groundwater. Survey data indicate that the WHO recommended fluoride limit of 1.5 mg L-1 is too high for Ghana, due to high water intake. But when considering that providing low fluoride water is not cost-free, the WHO recommended limit is currently acceptable for older children and adults. However children under 6-8 years need a limit <1.0 mg L-1 (ideally 0.6 mg L-1), and even lower in the first two years of life, since they are the most vulnerable to dental fluorosis. The survey results also show that only 24% of participants understand the… Advisors/Committee Members: Thomas, James M.

▼ Since the discovery of the Yeelirrie deposit in Australia in 1972, exploration for surficial uranium deposits has been supported through hydrogeochemical studies of groundwater and the calculation of the carnotite solubility index (CSI). This study aims to evaluate groundwater quality and delineate potential areas where surficial uranium mineralization (i.e. carnotite) may take place in the Namaqualand region. Surficial uranium deposits are unconsolidated soils or sediments, usually of Tertiary to Recent age. The most common surficial uranium mineral is carnotite. The study area in Namaqualand is located in the arid to semi-arid Northern Cape Province of South Africa, which comprises a variety of metamorphic rocks of the Namaqua Metamorphic Province, overlain by Cenozoic sediments. A total of 85 water samples were collected from existing boreholes. Physicochemical properties (EC, TDS, pH, DO and Eh) were measured on site and samples were analysed for major ions and trace elements at the Council for Geoscience laboratory in Pretoria. The CSI was calculated using hydrochemical data, and interpolated using inverse distance weighting (IDW) and kriging to produce maps of potential carnotite mineralization. The groundwater of the area is alkaline, with elevated concentrations of EC, TDS, Na+, Cl-, F-and U. The predominant water types are Na-Cl, Na-HCO3 and Mg-HCO3. Most groundwater samples have uranium values that range from 1.2–5 120 ppb, which are above the World Health Organization drinking water quality guideline of 15 ppb. Analysis shows that, in the presence of carbonates, uranium mostly occurs in solution as UO2(CO3)22- and UO2(CO3)34-. The CSI values ranged from -6.71 to -2.99 and those that ranged from 2.99 to -4 were in close proximity to known surficial uranium occurrences. The use of IDW and kriging interpolation methods revealed areas with potential for carnotite mineralization. The existence of suitable uranium source rocks, palaeochannels, climate and geomorphology makes the Namaqualand region prospective for calcrete-hosted uranium deposits. The CSI, used to delineate areas with a potential for surficial uranium mineralization in the Northern Cape, can be extrapolated to other areas with similar geological environments and climatic conditions. More sampling of groundwater is recommended to conduct a medical geology study to ascertain the impacts of uranium and other elements on the people, animals and plants of the area.

▼ The sustainable use of groundwater relies on building up three stages: exploration, development and management. The exploration is crucial to understand the capabilities and limitations of aquifer units; e.g. volume of available water and potential yield, distinction of recharge and discharge zones, and the groundwater quality are developed in this stage. In the Altiplano, groundwater is probably the most important water resource to supply domestic consumption and irrigation, since surficial bodies have been affected by reductions linked to drought events. The city of Oruro, Bolivia, in the Central Altiplano, is supplied solely with groundwater from a porous aquifer that has been utilized for decades; however, its hydrogeological characteristics are not fully understood due to the scarcity of data and limited resources to conduct long-term research. In order to develop the exploration of the aquifer units to the north of Oruro, this thesis presents studies aiming to fill gaps in the knowledge about their hydrogeological characteristics. A multidisciplinary approach including analysis of isotopic data and geoelectrical surveys was applied in this thesis; results and interpretations are based on data from previous studies and from sampling and measurements conducted recently within this work. The study subjects in this thesis include groundwater flow patterns inferred through isotopic characteristics, deduction of some geological features (fault mapping and delineation of bedrock) from changes in resistivity and estimation of aquifer parameters relating hydraulic properties and resistivity. Data acquisition during this work consisted of sampling and analysing isotopic compositions in water from precipitation, rivers and wells. Likewise, resistivity was obtained from surveys using electrical resistivity tomography and transient electromagnetic methods.Two aquifers were identified in the study area: unconsolidated sediments storing freshwater, currently under exploitation, overlying fractured bedrock that holds hydrothermal flows characterised by high temperature and salinity. Groundwater in the aquifers comes mainly from precipitation on the mountains, forming rivers that infiltrate laterally into the top aquifers, the natural discharge could have been located outside the limits of the study area, to the southwest; however, the cone of depression created by the wellfield supplying Oruro captures a substantial part of this groundwater. Isotopic characteristics of water in precipitation and groundwater at different depths were analysed to infer four circulation systems: (1) a shallow one receiving minor vertical infiltration, (2) the main system circulating through the unconsolidated sediments, (3) a transitional system between sediments and bedrock and (4) the deepest one, circulating through the bedrock fractures.Resistivity models obtained from geoelectrical surveys were analysed to infer the depth of the contact between sediments and bedrock; in the selected study area, it varies from a couple of meters to ~200 m.

▼ Understanding the behaviors of technetium (Tc) during sorption to and desorption from soils amended with titanomagnetite nanoparticles and in redox transition zones is critical for understanding risks from technetium-99 (99Tc) releases into the environment. In this work, experiments were performed under variable redox conditions to evaluate the sorption and desorption behavior of 99Tc in the presence of soil from the Savannah River Site (SRS) and varying concentrations (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 wt%) of titanomagnetite (Fe3-xTixO4) nanoparticles. Kinetic batch experiments were conducted to investigate how reducing and variable redox conditions and titanomagnetite nanoparticles affect the reduction (sorption) and re-oxidation (desorption) kinetics. There was minimal sorption under oxidizing conditions. Under reducing conditions, there was minimal (<10% sorbed) sorption to solids over 21 days in all percent titanomagnetite systems, except in the 10 wt% titanomagnetite reactors, where there was 50% sorption at 6 hours and 100% sorption at 24 hours. This suggests that reduction of Tc is facilitated by the titanomagnetite nanoparticles above a certain concentration threshold between 1 and 10 wt%. Re-oxidation and desorption of 99Tc occurred relatively rapidly, on the order of hours to days, and the amount of titanomagnetite in the system appeared to have no noticeable effect on the rate of re-oxidation. These findings have important environmental implications about Tc mobility in the environment. It would take Tc weeks to reduce in the subsurface even under reducing conditions, unless there were efficient electron donors, such as titanomagnetite, present in the system. However, it would take relatively short periods of oxidizing conditions for Tc to re-oxidize and become mobile. Experiments were performed under variable redox conditions to evaluate the transport behavior of 99Tc and 99mTc in the presence of soil from the Savannah River Site (SRS) and 1 wt% and 10 wt% titanomagnetite layers. The titanomagnetite was selected for its 99Tc reducing capacity and layer concentrations were selected based on previous batch kinetic work. The experiment was conducted to investigate how redox transitions (reducing to oxidizing conditions) and three concentrations of titanomagnetite nanoparticles (0%, 1%, and 10%) mixed with SRS soil affect the overall mobility of 99Tc and 99mTc as it transitions between mobile Tc(VII) and immobile Tc(IV). A 1D gamma-ray scanner was used to measure 99mTc activity nondestructively within the column and an X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging system was used to monitor physical processes of NaI transport in situ. These two novel measuring techniques, in addition to measuring fractionated effluent, were used to evaluate the chemical and physical processes of 99Tc and 99mTc transport through the porous media. Tc appeared to behave non-conservatively and became partially and immediately reduced within the column. 1D gamma-ray scanning results revealed 99mTc immobilization in the 1 and 10 wt%… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Stephen Moysey, Committee Co-Chair, Dr. Brian Powell, Committee Co-Chair, Dr. Nicole Martinez.

▼ Miscible displacement column studies were conducted on unfractured cores of Topopah Spring Tuff to quantify transport characteristics of bromide&44; pentafluorobenzoic acid &40;PFBA&41;&44; trichloroethylene &40;TCE&41;&44; and naphthalene. Three 5 cm diameter by 2 cm long cores were flushed with pulses of simulated groundwater containing these tracers&44; followed by tracer&45;free solution. Effective porosities were gravimetrically measured as 11&37;&44; 10.6&37;&44; and 9.5&37;. The tracers achieved full breakthrough in an order correlating to their hydrophobicities. Bromide and PFBA sorbed least&44; achieving full breakthrough in fewer than 10 pore volumes. As water analogues&44; both exhibited no quantifiable sorption. Delay to full breakthrough was contributed to rate&45;limited diffusion into lower permeable regions. Their transport was found to be conservative&44; with their retardation factors computed as 1. TCE reached full breakthrough within 40 to 50 pore volumes and naphthalene at 90 to 100 pore volumes. The tracers desorbed from each core in the same order as the arriving front. Bromide and PFBA fully exited the cores within 10 to 20 pore volumes. TCE and naphthalene exhibited significant tailing during desorption&44; never achieving levels below quantifiable detection due to experimental time constraints. Mass balance calculated recoveries of 95 to 100&37; for bromide&37;PFBA&44; 70 to 90&37; for TCE&44; and 80 to 90&37; for naphthalene. The 1&45;dimensional contaminant transport program CXTFIT determined bromide dispersion between 0.032 to 34.0 cm&178;&37;day. TCE sorption matched the one&45;site sorption model with dispersion values 0.01 to 0.41 cm&178;&37;day. Naphthalene sorption matched a two&45;site model with dispersion values 0.075 to 1.96 cm&178;&37;day. Saturated hydraulic conductivities were measured over the range 8.64E&45;4 to 1.73E&45;2 mm&37;day. Petrographic analysis related core structure to fluid flow. The tuff was welded&44; with 1 mm to 2 cm pumice&44; quartz&44; and feldspars clasts in a fine&45;grained quartz and glass matrix. X&45;ray diffractometry reported major mineralogy &40;excluding 70&37; amorphous glass by volume&41; as quartz 11±5&37;&44; albite 41±5&37;&44; and orthoclase 48±5&37;. The pumices were observed as the primary porosity and likely major flow paths. The disconnectedness of the pumices revealed that the cores would have zones of highly variable permeability&44; moving quickly in the porous pumices and slowly through the tight matrix.

▼ The Grand River Watershed, in southern Ontario, is home to approximately 900,000 people and one of the fastest growing regions in Canada; specifically, in the urban areas of Guelph, Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo. This growth strains the watershed’s capacity to supply adequate water resources to these municipalities, as well as manage the waste-water treatment effluent discharged from them. Nowhere in the watershed is this juxtaposition in water resource function more apparent than at the city of Brantford, with a population of approximately 100,000 people. Located forty-two kilometers downstream from the major urban areas, Brantford is unique in the watershed in that it obtains its entire municipal water supply directly from the Grand River, into which the upstream municipalities discharge 77% of the total waste-water treatment plant effluent emitted to the watershed. One contaminant of concern is nitrate, which, for decades, has been linked to numerous human and aquatic health complications. The input of nitrate from these upstream WWTP’s is considerable; the WWTP’s have a combined flow rate of 2.3 m3s-1, and a mean nitrate concentration of 10.4 mg N·L-1 (data from Anderson, 2012). As a comparison, the Nith River, the largest tributary to the Grand River between Cambridge and Brantford, has a summer baseflow of 2.9 m3s-1 and, from 2000 to 2004, had a mean nitrate concentration of 4.4 mg N·L-1 (Cooke, 2006). Brantford, in addition to treating their water supply, relies on the dilution of in-stream nitrate from groundwater that is thought to discharge along the Grand between Cambridge and the Brantford municipal water intake. This 40-km reach of the Grand River is colloquially referred to as either the discharge reach or the recovery reach. Recent data from various authors indicate that groundwater may not always act to dilute in-stream nitrate from upstream WWTPs (Encalata, 2008; Pastora, 2009; Rosamond 2009). The main objective of the research completed in this thesis was to refine the conceptual model of groundwater/surface water interaction along the Grand River between Cambridge and Brantford. Refinement of this conceptual model was accomplished in two parts. First, groundwater discharge, from bank seepage and direct discharge through the riverbed, was located using a variety of methods; a simple reconnaissance survey by canoe, a FLIR thermography survey, drag probe surveys, and a temperature profiling method. Then domestic wells, seeps, tributaries, riverbed discharge, and WWTP effluent were sampled to geochemically characterize inputs to the Grand River.

▼ In 1998, a permeable reactive barrier system was installed at the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) Chalk River Laboratories in Chalk River, Ontario, to prevent the discharge of a 90Sr plume into a nearby swamp. The system known as the “Wall and Curtain” contains clinoptilolite, a zeolite, as a reactive material to sorb 90Sr. The overall objective of this study was to provide refined estimates of the efficiency and longevity of the system. To better understand the flow in the aquifer and through the Wall and Curtain, a detailed physical field characterization of the site was performed. Borehole-dilution tests were performed in 19 mm (¾ inch) drive-point piezometers. The results indicate that the Wall and Curtain system intercepted deeper, contaminated groundwater as intended. Hydraulic conductivities (K) determined through slug tests indicate that the aquifer was relatively homogeneous. Average linear groundwater velocities determined through borehole dilution compared well with velocities determined through the Darcy equation based on slug-test K estimates. The measurements from the field study were used to develop a three dimensional physical flow model. The numerical computer code HydroGeoSphere was used to provide an approximate representation of groundwater flow in the aquifer and through the Wall and Curtain. The model was calibrated by comparing simulated and observed hydraulic head values across the site. The model showed good agreement with the observed heads and acceptable agreement with the field estimates of groundwater velocities. A detailed geochemical characterization of the aquifer and the reactive material, clinoptilolite, was performed through field and laboratory work. Pore-water samples were taken from multiple locations in the aquifer. Solid and pore-water samples from the reactive material were used to determine distribution coefficients for 90Sr and competing cations. Sequential leach tests were performed on small amounts of the radioactive solid samples. Results indicate that the system was highly efficient in treating an average mass flux of > 17,000 Bq/m2day-1. The leading edge of the plume was found to have only reached 40 cm into the 2 m thick Curtain of clinoptilolite after nearly 14 years of operation. The reactive material readily sorbed 90Sr, with a distribution coefficient of > 76,000 mL/g for beta activity. Kinetically controlled ion exchange was the main mechanism of sorption onto the clinoptilolite for most cations. The results indicate that the system was highly efficient. Reactive transport models of the site using two different numerical codes, HydroGeoSphere and MIN3P, were constructed to provide refined estimates of the longevity of the system. The model constructed in HydroGeoSphere included five solutes. Zoned distribution coefficients were specified for the transported solutes. In MIN3P, only the reactive material was used as a model domain. Typical concentrations of the plume were specified. Ion exchange was considered in the simulation, as well as radioactive decay…
