This study develops a regional hydrogeologic framework to support evaluation of a proposed water disposal site within Devonian carbonate aquifers in northern Alberta. The regional study area extends from T75 R8W4 to T100 R2W5, encompassing the Athabasca River corridor through its central and eastern portions, while the detailed study area focuses on T83 R16W4 to T92 R22W4.

Key components of the study include regional mapping of hydraulic head and total dissolved solids across the Viking, Grand Rapids–Clearwater, Wabiskaw–McMurray, Grosmont, Leduc, Cooking Lake, and Beaverhill Lake–Elk Point intervals. Integrated hydrostratigraphic cross-sections were developed to better characterize and communicate the complexity of fluid flow systems in both lateral and vertical directions.
