“…Many papers attempt to relate the total C02 dissolved in ground water to the C02 of the soil zone in recharge areas because of the effects C02 equilibria exert on both rock dissolution (for example, Thrailkill, 1968;Langmuir, 1971;Shuster and White, 1972;Long and Saleem, 1974;Drake and Wigley, 1975;Harmon and others, 1975 Trainer and Heath, 1976;Pitman, 1978) and the carbon isotope content of ground water (for example, Pearson and Hanshaw, 1970;Rightmire and Hanshaw, 1973;Deines and others, 1974;Fritz and others, 1978;Pearson and others, 1978;Rightmire, 1978). Drake and Wigley (1975) derived a general relation between soil PC02 and soil zone temperature which explained the PC02 in calcium-carbonate-saturated ground water that had evolved under essentially "closed system" conditions.…”

The Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) Program was started in 1978 following a congressional mandate to develop quantitative appraisals of the major groundwater systems of the United States. The RASA Program represents a systematic effort to study a number of the Nation's most important aquifer systems, which in aggregate underlie much of the country and which represent an important component of the Nation's total water supply. In general, the boundaries of these studies are identified by the hydrologic extent of each system and accordingly transcend the political subdivisions to which investigations have often arbitrarily been limited in the past. The broad objective for each study is to assemble geologic, hydrologic, and geochemical information, to analyze and develop an understanding of the system, and to develop predictive capabilities that will contribute to the effective management of the system. The use of computer simulation is an important element of the RASA studies, both to develop an understanding of the natural, undisturbed hydrologic system and the changes brought about in it by human activities, and to provide a means of predicting the regional effects of future pumping or other stresses. The final interpretive results of the RASA Program are presented in a series of U.S. Geological Survey Professional Papers that describe the geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of each regional aquifer system. Each study within the RASA Program is assigned a single Professional Paper number, and where the volume of interpretive material warrants, separate topical chapters that consider the principal elements of the investigation may be published. The series of RASA interpretive reports begins with Professional Paper 1400 and thereafter will continue in numerical sequence as the interpretive products of subsequent studies become available.

“…Low bicarbonate concentrations may be related to rapid recharge through sinkholes and solution openings by water having a low carbon dioxide concentration, whereas high bicarbonate concentrations may be expected where recharge water is high in carbon dioxide as a result of percolation through soil that is rich in organic matter (Trainer and Heath, 1976).…”

“…As a result, the geochemical processes and hydrogeological implications in carbonate aquifer systems are well known for many sites throughout the world (Rui et al, 2011 (Trainer and Heath, 1976). If the obtained data series are compared to similar conditions in different cities in Korea, the groundwater chemistries which were influenced by the dissolution of carbonate rocks and water-rock interactions can be determined.…”

This study was conducted to understand the chemical characteristics of groundwater in carbonate areas of Korea. In this study, data on pH, electric conductivity (EC), Ca , and HCO 3 − were collected from 97 wells which were installed in various carbonate rock regions of Korea. The pH values ranged from 5.7 to 9.9, and the average value was 7.3. The concentration range showed differences between the maximum value of HCO , and HCO 3 − might be not only water-rock interactions, but also irrigation return flow, because many groundwater wells had been developed for irrigation purposes. Subsequently, the influence of agriculture on groundwater chemistry was evaluated using a cumulative plot of SO 4 2− . The threshold value of SO 4 2− calculated from the cumulative frequency curve was 29.2 mg/L. Therefore, 12.4% of all the groundwater wells were affected by agricultural activity.
