Abstract: Groundwater contamination in urban aquifers is a major concern in relation to domestic water uses and may lead to deterioration in surface water quality. Most modern sanitary landfills are designed and operated in a way that minimize impacts of leachate on groundwater. Engineered liners have not been installed in the key landfill cell at the Regina landfill, located in Saskatchewan, and there is field evidence of groundwater pollution due to the operation of the sanitary landfill. The City of Regina landfill is located on top of an urban aquifer and the City has implemented a comprehensive groundwater monitoring program. In this study, data was collected from 5 groups of wells located upstream and downstream of the landfill in 2012 and 2015
