The hydrochemistry data for HH2 are given in Table 2 (a sample from the ocean close by is included to provide the ocean end-member). Please complete the following tasks: (a) Make an assessment of the accuracy of data given in Table 2. For this you will need to convert the relevant ion concentrations to milli-equivalents (meq/L) and determine the charge balance error. Also, compare the sums of cat- and anions to EC/100. (b) Present the dataset by preparing depth profiles of the important parameters, a piper diagram and other key plots (that you think are helpful for presenting and interpreting the data). If you are not using a plot in your interpretation or explanation, then maybe it is of limited use, and you should not include it. (c) What major geochemical processes can you deduce from the data in Table 2? Write proper balanced reaction equation for each process. (d) From the hydrochemical data presented, provide a hypothesis about the sub-surface flow conditions at this site. Based on your new hydrochemical knowledge, do you need to revise your interpretation in Part 1c)? Hints: Use the conservative chloride concentration of the end-members (Ocean water, RC9 or 16 m in HH2) to calculate the fraction of seawater and the fraction of freshwater for each sample. Then calculate the linear mixing concentration of each ion of interest (e.g. Na, Ca, SO4, HCO3) for each sample based on end-member concentrations using equation 14.9 in the notes. Finally compare the mixing concentration with the actual measured concentration for each ion of interest for each sample to calculate enrichment or depletion for each ion due to reactions (this is all best done in a spreadsheet).

A seawater sample from the ocean close by provides the seawater hydrochemistry end- member and a groundwater sample from a shallow bore RC9 in the middle of the dune system (Figure 2) provides a freshwater end-member.
