Why is a resurgent stream only formed in a limestone area?

A resurgent stream is formed when an underground river is forced to reappear when it reaches a layer of impermeable bedrock. For a river to become an underground river in the first place it must flow over an area of limestone rock. The mildly acidified river water (it is acidified by dissolved carbon dioxide which is present in rainwater) reacts with the limestone (which is 80% calcium carbonate) and dissolves it. This forms a swallow hole into which the river flows. The river then continues to chemically weather the limestone underground thus forming an underground river. The river is forced to reappear (in the form of a resurgent stream) on the surface when there is a change of rock type from permeable limestone to impermeable bedrock. Hence resurgent streams are typically only found in limestone areas.
