Chemical Composition of Natural Water in Landslide Area

Abstract

The present paper is mainly concerned with the dissolved major constituents of natural waters in landslide areas. The following items are discussed: (1) Relation between chemical composition and discharge of ground waters, (2) Partial pressure of dissolved carbon dioxide gas of ground waters, and (3) Mineral-water interactions. And the author has emphasized a geochemical method for clarifying the role of weathering processes and landslide phenomenon.
