In carbonate aquifers, these water–rock interactions are mainly characterised by the incongruent dissolutions of carbonates. The in situ quantification of these reactions is few studied. In the present paper, we provide a new quantification of the kinetic rates of simultaneous incongruent dissolution of composite carbonate and dolomite in a Chalk aquifer. The approach is based on a mass-balance model used to calculate the rates of mineral dissolution and precipitation along a 500 m to 4 km flow path starting at the groundwater divide line. The groundwater transfer times between the groundwater divide line and the wells are calculated thanks to flow and transport modelling, used in a backward particle tracking mode. The uncertainties on porosity, dispersivity and transmissivity are taken into account. The rates are found ranging between 1.5 Â 10 À5 and 1.5 Â 10 À4 mol C5 chalk L À1 w yr À1 for the composite carbonate dissolution, between 1.0 Â 10 À7 and 3.0 Â 10 À6 mol dolomite L À1 w yr À1 for the dolomite dissolution and between 1.0 Â 10 À5 and 1.5 Â 10 À4 mol calcite L À1 w yr À1 for the calcite precipitation. The results highlight the importance of physical and geological properties of the aquifer.
