Hydrogeochemistry

Hydrogeochemistry is the study of the chemical composition of groundwater and how it interacts with rocks and sediments underground. It helps us understand what minerals and elements are dissolved in water, how water quality is affected, and how natural processes or human activities influence the chemistry. This knowledge is important for managing water resources, ensuring safe drinking water, and protecting the environment. Essentially, hydrogeochemistry reveals the chemical story of groundwater, showing how it forms, changes, and what substances it carries.
