Description

Reports on the development of an integrated modelling framework established and implemented from April 2012 to March 2015, to provide a comprehensive understanding of hydrology, hydraulics, sediments, and contaminants within the Athabasca River and to inform current and future monitoring efforts. The broad objective of this part of the Joint Oil Sands Monitoring plan was to provide critical knowledge on and improved predictive modelling capability for water availability and sediment/contaminant transport in the lower Athabasca River.

Description

Reports on two studies developed to address science needs and gaps related to groundwater-surface water interactions on tributaries of the Lower Athabasca River and proximate to tailings ponds. The studies address to sub-themes of the groundwater theme identified in the Joint Canada-Alberta Oil Sands Monitoring program regarding water quality of the Lower Athabasca River, namely: What is the relative importance and contribution of groundwater quality and quantity to surface waters? and: Is there groundwater seepage from tailings ponds and/or other oil sands industrial operations entering the surface water system?

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.
