Ausführliche Beschreibung

"Groundwater Chemistry - A Practical Guide to Modeling of Natural and Contaminated Aquatic Systems" was translated and updated from the German version published in 2002. This volume fills a gap in the field of modern text books by focusing on the solution of practical hydrogeochemical questions with the help of PhreeqC. The first chapter concentrates on the minimum theoretical knowledge needed for beginners, especially non-chemists, to start with the ambitious task of hydrogeochemical modeling. The second chapter gives an overview of hydrogeochemical modeling and its general application. The main emphasis is on practical exercises and their solution (chapters 3 and 4). Terms and level of the book are chosen in such a way that academics with some basic hydrogeological or chemical understanding, as well as graduate students in geosciences, environmental sciences, or related studies can work independently on the exercises. Detailed descriptions of the solutions as well as the PhreeqC input files on the enclosed CD help readers to understand and remodel all tasks. The public domain code PhreeqC including a windows user interface is also enclosed on the CD. Ausführliche Beschreibung
