Abstract
A hydrogeochemical groundwater study is underway in the Portneuf MRC (municipalité régionale de comtés) as part of a regional groundwater mapping project. This groundwater quality investigation has analyzed 37 groundwater samples for inorganic and bacteriologic parameters. We noticed significant variations in the groundwater composition and quality, with several samples exceeding aesthetical objectives. We observed a degradation of the groundwater quality. Significant concentrations of nitrates have been measured for 41% of the samples. Moreover, private well installations and maintenance seem to be deficient since 50% of the samples taken from those wells exceeded the microbiological norms.
