The aim of the book is to provide domain-specific text/reference material pertaining water chemistry/hydrogeochemistry catering to students of geology, hydrogeology, civil engineers, hydrochemistry and environmental sciences. It will also be very much useful to professionals involved in water supply, treatment, and researchers engaged in water chemistry. The book is intended to provide ample realistic examples on water quality pertaining to varied geological environs, which would help in easy understanding of concepts. Question bank and exercises with keys/answers are provided for each...

There is a popular saying that "water quality is as important as quantity," but most often more importance is accorded in studying hydrodynamics than hydrochemistry. Research and literature on water chemistry are not commensurate with issues or problems with water quality. Though the utility of water depends on its chemical constituents, little efforts are made to analyze, interpret and understand water chemistry. Much human suffering can be reduced if water quality is maintained to required specifications. New techniques can be invented for improving water quality by continuously carrying...
