The effects of geomorphology and seasonality on the chemistry of carbonate groundwater

The equilibrium chemistry of carbonate groundwater at the regional and long-term scales of aggregation is affected by geomorphic factors and by the seasonality of temperature and recharge regimes. The general trend of Ca concentration differences between regions is governed by annual mean air or groundwater temperature and by the nature of the solution system. Higher concentrations result from the coincident system where carbonate material, …
