Abstract
During the summer of 1967, an investigation of the areal
ground-water conditions in the vicinity of Morden, Manitoba,
was carried out. The study was prompted by concern about
deteriorating and dying vegetation on the Canada Department
of Agriculture Research Station at Morden, believed to have
been caused by a rise in the water table and an increase in
ground-water salinity.
In addition to other studies pertinent to an overall understanding of the problem, the present investigation examines
ground-water conditions in the area with respect to
natural ground-water flow phenomena, hydrogeochemistry, and
possible ground-water seepage out of Lake Minnewasta.
The results of the investigation show that many natural
ground-water recharge and discharge areas exist in the general
region and that the problem on the Experimental Farm is one
of local ground-water discharge. It is also demonstrated
that the ground-water salinity in the vicinity of the problem
area is very high. The probability that seepage from Lake
Minnewasta caused and sustained a high water table on the
Experimental Farm is small.
