General geology and major ions analysis in Kadok, lower part of Kota Bharu

This research project mainly focused on two parts of studies which are the general geology geology of Kadok area which located at the lower part of the Kota Bharu and the study of groundwater flow by silica geothermometry as well as the water quality. The data were obtained when the geological mappi...

Hence, a research of silica geothermometry is done in other to study the groundwater flow and the interaction of the water with the bedrock in study area. The silica concentration and the temperature chalcedony are very low and this shows that the water is very young as it is newly recharged by the surface water which is Sungai Kelantan. Besides, the water quality analysis is also done in order to study the major ions which are sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, sulphates, chloride and bicarbonates.
