Abstract

Water levels in the fens located within Sioux Nation Wildlife Management Area are threatened by proposed pumping from the nearby Burr Well Field. The fen is part of a complex hydrologic environment with many springs fed by upwelling ground water that may be coming frQm either a shallow sand unit located 30-40 feet below the land surface or a deeper aquifer, located approximately 120 feet below the land surface. To help define the source of the ground water feeding the fen, I am requesting Jeff Green's assistance in conducting a dye trace near the fen. By injecting dye into a well completed in the shallow aquifer, it is hoped the ground water flow system can be defined better.

Description

Dye trace conducted at the Sioux Nation Wildlife Management Area in order to better define flow dynamics in an area with groundwater discharge to a fen.
