Temperature, pH level, pressure. And availability of CO2, of course.

The pressure difference of the gas in the area above the water to that of the gas dissolved in the water. As an example, if the atmospheric pressure of the carbon dioxide were 0.001 psi at the surface of the water, and the gas pressure in the water was 0.00095 psi, then gas from the atmosphere would infuse into the water to balance the pressure.

Pressure, temperature, pH, (and indirectly other constituents of the water if it's not pure)

lots of factors some previously mentioned and.....depending on the type of rock the water flows over, they types of vegetation rotting in it, it's not just one thing.
