[edit] GEOCHEMISTRY OF NATURAL WATERS

An examination of both theoretical and practical approaches to the geochemistry of natural waters, with an emphasis on freshwater environments. This edition concentrates on environmental issues more than the previous edition, reflecting increased environmental awareness and regulatory requirements.

An examination of both theoretical and practical approaches to the geochemistry of natural waters with a more tightly focused emphasis on fresh-water environments. The third edition focuses more on environmental issues than the previous edition, reflecting the importance on environmental geochemistry as a result of increased environmental awareness and regulatory requirements. *NEW - Chapter on contaminant transport modeling (Chapter 16). *NEW - Section on organic contaminants (Chapter 6). *NEW - Chapter on absorption (Chapter 5). *NEW - Integration of the use of computer codes throughout the text. *NEW - Increased number of worked examples and end-of-chapter problems. *NEW - Problems using publicly - available computer codes. *NEW - Chapter order has been changed to introduce redox equilibria earlier to allow a more logical discussion in subsequent chapters. *Considers the processes controlling the chemistry of clean and polluted natural waters (rivers, lakes, groundwater). *Prepares readers to interpret the probable cause of a particular water composition and to predict the probable water chemistry in those situations where data do not exist. *Discusses both natural systems and introduced pollutants and provides a framework for understanding baseline water quality. *Covers much of the information necessary for predicting the effect of various human activities on water quality. *Makes extensive use of case studies from the literature to tie general principles to the real world. *Keeps the chemical and mathematical presentation simple. *Worked examples use publicly- available computer codes, including MINTEQA2, WATEQ4F, and NETPATH which are the standards in the environmental industry.
