Abstract:

"Covering current issues related to the hydrogeochemistry of natural aquatic systems, the processes involved and the effects of interference by human beings, this practical reference provides fundamental knowledge about the aqueous chemistry of various aquatic systems such as groundwater, rivers, glaciers, lakes, and marine ecosystems. The primary aim of the book is to address solute acquisition processes, the carbon cycle, nutrient geochemistry, metal speciation and the biogeochemical cycle of toxic metals. Other topics covered in the book include water-sediment interactions, arsenic, fluoride and uranium enrichment, halogen geochemistry, sand mining, and CO2 consumption rate in aquatic ecosystems. Several case studies from Asia and Africa are included."-- Provided by publisher.
