Water Chemistry

The identification and quantification of the properties and components of water samples are under the domain of water chemistry. The type and sensitivity of tests performed depends on desirability and intended use of water. It integrates studies in water quality, hydrology, pollution and geothermal waters. Methods of mass spectrometry and gas chromatography, specialized organoleptic methods, etc. are routinely used in water chemistry. Such studies are crucial in the domains of forensic analysis, research, drinking water supply, etc. This textbook is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field of water chemistry. Most of the topics introduced herein cover new techniques and applications of this field. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics in this area of study.
