Subject: northern prairie recharge wetland
Objective: Identify key geochemical processes and quantify their rates
Method: Combined water and solute mass balance approach
Key Processes: Sulfate reduction, carbonate mineral reactions, and processes adding CO2 to the pond

Water chemistry affects the plant and animal communities of a wetland
Salinity influences the plant and invertebrate community
Source of salinity: Glacial till; oxidation of sulfur and dissolution of carbonate

Three types of wetlands: recharge, flow-through, discharge
Hydrologic cycle of closed basins• Inflow: Precipitation and Runoff, and
Groundwater• Outflow: Evaporation, Groundwater
Chemical transport: infiltration carries solutes into groundwater
Evaporation: deposit solutes, oxidize reduced species

Water balance: ΔVolume = Area ( Precip + Runoff – Evap –
Infilt)
Use of a conservative species as a tracer (Chloride) Groundwater inflow and outflow Sulfur redox reactions

Normalized Masses of species to first observed concentration to compare to Chloride• Changes in Chloride reflect changes do to
hydrology• Differences between normalized mass of other
species indicates reactions Solute mass balance: [ P(Cp) + R(CR) – fI{I + E}(C) + B ]

Use Chloride to find fI because B=0 for conservative species Can now solve for I and E (so just solved a
hydrology problem) Use mass balance for other species,
change B to represent the addition or removal of species by reactions

How does evaporation alone change the water chemistry?
How can the water chemistry changes be modeled using PHREEQC?
