Solution geochemistry of the water of limestone terrain
Thrailkill J. 1970. Solution geochemistry of the water of limestone terrain. Research Report 19. University of Kentucky, Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute. Lexington, KY
This study looks at the state of water's saturation relative to calcite. The investigation took place in the Mammoth Cave-Sinkhole Plain and the Cave Hollow aquifers. The study areas and methodology is described. The saturation relationships in surface streams; sinking stream-aquifer relationships; aquifer saturation relationships; vadose flows and vadose seepage is investigated. Implications of this study are listed. The appendices present the analytic techniques; computations; errors; and area data from both the Mammoth Cave-Sinkhole Plain and the Cave Hollow study areas.
