“…In situ temperature measurements of lake sediment are indicative of pore-water and sediment temperatures. Lake-sediment temperature measurements have been used in similar studies to identify potential groundwater-inflow areas where water-quality samples could be collected and seepage rates measured to further confirm and quantify the inflow of groundwater (Jones, 2006). Lake-sediment temperatures were measured along the shorelines because groundwater inflow to lakes has been observed to decrease exponentially with distance from shore (Lee, 1977;Fellows and Brezonik, 1980;Erickson, 1981;Attanayake and Waller, 1988;Rosenberry, 1990).…”

“…The water-column depth to the sediment interface (lake-water depth), the depth of probe insertion into the sediment, and the GPS latitudelongitude coordinates were recorded at each location. Lakewater depths ranged from 0 to 2.0 ft at each measurement location, and insertion depths into the sediment ranged from 0.5 to 4.5 ft, with most depths greater than 1.0 ft. At Shingobee Lake in northern Minnesota (Rosenberry and others, 2000) and in three lakes of northeastern Minnesota (Jones, 2006), areas of groundwater discharge could be mapped effectively by measuring temperature less than 1 in. beneath the lakebed along the shoreline.…”

“…The ratios of the isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen present in water were used to distinguish sources of water when the degree of isotopic fractionation of the water is different for different sources of water. Hydrologic studies have used isotopic ratios in waters to identify groundwater discharge to lakes and sources of waters to wells (Dincer, 1968;Sacks, 2002;Jones, 2006;Rosenberry and LaBaugh, 2008). These isotopes are useful because they are part of the water and not solutes dissolved in the water.…”

“…Measurements of groundwater levels and lake levels also can be used to delineate the groundwater watershed for a lake, determining sources of groundwater that enter a lake. Differences in water temperatures and other water-quality characteristics along the lake shoreline can be used with measurements of pore water and lake level to identify locations of springs and areas where groundwater is flowing into a lake (Jones, 2006;Rosenberry and LaBaugh, 2008).…”

“…Stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen are also frequently used in surface water studies, often in evaluation the interactions of surface water and groundwater in lakes. Jones (2006) analyzed three lakes in northeastern Minnesota to aid lake managers in addressing water quality and aquatic habitat protection issues. He found that analysis of stable isotopes of water was an important tool in identifying areas of groundwater inflow and outflow.…”

Limitations on the study of tile drainage using a distributed parameter hydrologic model and stable isotopes

Recent large-scale flood events in Iowa demonstrate a need to understand how drainage alteration, specifically through tile drainage and ditches related to intensive agriculture, affect peak flow events and streamflow hydrology. This research tested the hypothesis that there is a relationship between tile drainage and peak flow events, specifically that tile drainage increases the occurrence of peak flow events. The first objective was to implement a physically based, coupled surface water/groundwater model (HydroGeoSphere-HGS) in the South Fork watershed in north-central Iowa. The second objective was to sample and analyze precipitation, surface water, groundwater, and tile water for stable isotopes from August 2011 to July 2013 in order to implement and model isotopic hydrograph separation during a peak flow event. The intent of that work was to delineate the source of water in the flood. Due to the inability of the HGS model to converge, the model was abandoned and efforts were refocused on using stable isotopes to predict water sources during peak flow events. The drought of 2012 provided an opportunity to investigate how tiles interact with other hydrologic components during a hydrologic extreme. Results suggest that tile drainage water-which is often a mixture of surface intakes water, saturated macropore flow, and groundwater-was fed exclusively by groundwater during the drought. In contrast, tile water is a combination of these sources under normal hydrologic conditions. During a precipitation and flood event in late May 2013 water pooled around surface intakes, stream discharge reached two-year peaks, and the tile water isotopic composition moved significantly away from groundwater towards the composition of precipitation. These results suggest that surface runoff to the tiles would be the dominant component fed to streams during peak flow, and that isotopic hydrograph separation may prove useful when peak flow occurs again. Although HGS was not useful for simulating peak flow and hydrograph separation in this research, it will be a useful tool, along with stable isotopes, to continue investigations of this type in the future.

Contaminants of emerging concern, particularly endocrine active compounds (EACs), have been identified as a threat to aquatic wildlife. However, little is known about the impact of EACs on lakes through groundwater from onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). This study aims to identify specific contributions of OWTS to Sullivan Lake, Minnesota, USA. Lake hydrology, water chemistry, caged bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus), and larval fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) exposures were used to assess whether EACs entered the lake through OWTS inflow and the resultant biological impact on fish. Study areas included two OWTS-influenced near-shore sites with native bluegill spawning habitats and two in-lake control sites without nearby EAC sources. Caged bluegill sunfish were analyzed for plasma vitellogenin concentrations, organosomatic indices, and histological pathologies. Surface and porewater was collected from each site and analyzed for EACs. Porewater was also collected for laboratory exposure of larval fathead minnow, before analysis of predator escape performance and gene expression profiles. Chemical analysis showed EACs present at low concentrations at each study site, whereas discrete variations were reported between sites and between summer and fall samplings. Body condition index and liver vacuolization of sunfish were found to differ among study sites as did gene expression in exposed larval fathead minnows. Interestingly, biological exposure data and water chemistry did not match. Therefore, although results highlight the potential impacts of seepage from OWTS, further investigation of mixture effects and life history factor as well as chemical fate is warranted.
