To study the geological control on groundwater As concentrations in Red River delta. depth-specific groundwater sampling and geophysical logging in 11 monitoring wells was conducted along a 45 km transect across the southern and central part of the delta, and the literature on the Red River delta's Quaternary geological development was reviewed. The water samples (n = 30) were analyzed for As, major ions, Fe2+, H2S, NH4, CH4, delta O-18 and delta D, and the geophysical log suite included natural gamma-ray, formation and fluid electrical conductivity. The SW part of the transect intersects deposits of grey estuarine clays and deltaic sands in a 15-20 km wide and 50-60 m deep Holocene incised valley. The NE part of the transect consists of 60-120 m of Pleistocene yellowish alluvial deposits underneath 10-30 m of estuarine clay overlain by a 10-20 m veneer of Holocene sediments. The distribution of delta O-18-values (range - 12.2 parts per thousand to -6.3 parts per thousand) and hydraulic head in the sample wells indicate that the estuarine clay units divide the flow system into an upper Holocene aquifer and a lower Pleistocene aquifer. The groundwater samples were all anoxic, and contained Fe2+ (0.03-2.0 mM), Mn (0.7-320 mu M), SO4 (
