Description

The objectives of this project were to identify reliable methods for analyzing the chemical and isotopic composition of free and dissolved gases in shallow groundwater, and to thoroughly characterize the chemical and isotopic composition of shallow groundwater from selected wells in order to obtain a better knowledge of groundwater resources in the province. This information is crucial for future attempts to monitor potential impacts of produced fluids or gases from CBM operations on shallow aquifers.

Description

The Alberta Research Council was contracted by Alberta Environment to supervise the drilling and installation of three new wells for the Groundwater Observation Well Network, which is a network of groundwater wells that monitor groundwater levels in aquifers across Alberta. This report details the site selection, drilling and well installation data for these monitoring wells.

A comprehensive literature review on the applicability of free and dissolved gas sampling for baseline water well testing : final report

Description

This report summarizes and evaluates currently available methods for free gas and dissolved gas sampling from water wells and discusses their applicability to groundwater testing near coalbed... More ≫

Description

This report summarizes and evaluates currently available methods for free gas and dissolved gas sampling from water wells and discusses their applicability to groundwater testing near coalbed methane operations in Alberta. The ultimate goal is to assess advantages and disadvantages of the currently available techniques for determining the chemical and isotopic compositions of free and dissolved gases in groundwater obtained from water wells. Another objective was to evaluate whether suitable techniques exist to reliably analyze the chemical and isotopic composition of dissolved gas in groundwater, and if so, whether this would add important new information.

Description

The Lesser Slave River (LSR) supplies water to municipalities, industry, and other users, and supports fisheries and recreation. It also receives treated municipal and pulp mill effluent. Flows in the LSR were extremely low within the last year, and emergency works were undertaken by users to ensure water supplies and flow maintenance in the river. As well, Alberta Environment (AENV) increased the monitoring and assessment of flow and water quality in the winter of 1999-2000. This included flow measurements, hydrologic analyses, two water quality synoptic surveys, dissolved oxygen (DO) recording, and enhanced water quality monitoring at the network site on the lower river. This document reports on those activities.
