Excerpt from Solution Geochemistry of the Water of Limestone Terrains
This project was begun in the summer of 1966, and represents a major phase of a continuing line of research by the principal investigator into the chemistry and hydrology of natural waters in limestone terrains.
Although this document is a completion report on the project as funded by the Office of Water Resources Research, U. S. Department of the Interior, under the provisions of PL 88 - 379, it is anticipated that work in this general area will continue and that the techniques established and data gathered for thi<2 study (and herein reported) will be used for future research and publication.
The field and laboratory analyses of the Cave Hollow area were performed by David P. Beiter for use as a thesis for the Master of Science degree in Geology. Substantial assistance in the study of the Mammoth Cave Sinkhole Plain area was furnished by Michael T. Osolnik and Rober H.
Postley, MS candidates in Geology. Other graduate students, in Geology except as otherwise indicated, who assisted with aspects of the study, were William M. Mitchell, Leonard N. Plummer, James R. Riddell (zoology), Richard C. Worley, and Robert D. Zwicker (physics).

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the geochemical principles that govern limestone groundwater systems. Beginning with a comprehensive analysis of the hydrologic systems found in limestone terrains, the author presents the results of a geochemical study of two different aquifers over an eighteen-month period. The work focuses on the state of saturation with respect to calcite of natural waters and shows that most of these waters are undersaturated, indicating their capacity for further limestone dissolution. The study also casts doubts on tentative conclusions that have been drawn in the area of solution kinetics. Ultimately, this book provides valuable implications on the nature of limestone aquifers and aids in understanding the processes of solution in these systems. An essential text for geologists, hydrologists, and anyone interested in karst terrains and limestone aquifers, this book deepens our understanding of the critical processes that shape these unique and important ecosystems.
