so it’s a certainty that it’s fox hills water?

also - I was talking generally - just happening upon a free flow ground water source

Whenever we come across water elk hunting it goes through a filtration system or at the very least gets the steripen treatment. Giardia is bad voodoo

No, but given the geographic setting for the Little Heart area by the Missouri, I'd say it's about a 90% chance it's completed in the Fox Hills formation.

It's tough to imagine how the surficial aquifers (e.g. the sands associated with the river's sediments) would generate artesian pressure. Not impossible, but quite unlikely.

If someone, let's say JuanR would report back on its taste and smell, that would help confirm if its Fox Hills. If it's completed in the sands associated with the Missouri River, it should also have some iron and manganese staining where the water is discharged. Much like one sees wherever there's a sand-point well used to water the lawns and sides of buildings down along Fox Island, etc.

Smart man. Giardia, while I've never had it, I've seen people get bed-ridden for days with it.
