The objective of this study is to conduct a detailed hydrodynamic analysis of the Carnduff area by constructing potentiometric surface and formation water chemistry maps, as well as conducting lateral and vertical hydraulic continuity analyses. The study area is within T. 1-2 and R. 1-3W2M. Preliminary work revealed that Mission Canyon data has different pressure gradients and hydraulic head values than those of the Midale, Poplar or Ratcliffe, suggesting that Mission Canyon is not in hydraulic communication with the other formations. The lack of hydraulic communication between the datasets may be a result of the Frobisher Evaporite acting as an effective hydrodynamic barrier between the Mission Canyon and the overlying Midale.
