Geochemical and isotopic variations in surface waters of the monongahela river basin: An area of accelerating marcellus shale development in West Virginia
Abstract:Water samples were collected from fifty streams in the Monongahela River basin of West Virginia at baseflow condition. The study area was divided into different Marcellus Shale production categories based the amount of Marcellus Shale gas production in a particular HUC-12 sub-watershed. All samples were analyzed for selected major and minor geochemistry, as well as stable isotopes of δ 2 H H2O , δ 18 O H2O , δ 13 C DIC , δ 18 O SO4 and δ 34 S SO4. The geochemical and isotopic characteristics of the 50 water sa… Show more
