Groundwater Chemistry fills a gap in modern textbooks by focusing on solutions to hydrogeochemical problems using the software PhreeqC. Fully updated, this Second Edition reviews the theoretical knowledge needed to understand hydrogeochemical modeling and its applications. Next, the authors set forth practical exercises along with their solutions. From a review in Environmental Geology: "Altogether 69 clearly and carefully explained exercises are provided to enhance the knowledge step-by-step. This book is recommended to all those with some basic hydrogeological or chemical understanding, to graduate students in geosciences, environmental sciences or related studies as well as to representatives of public authorities and enterprises who want to understand the hydrogeochemical interactions better."
Fills a gap in modern text books, focusing on the solution of practical hydrogeochemical questions with the help of Phreeq. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:"Merkel and Planer-Friedrich … provide an excellent introduction to hydrogeochemical modeling for analyzing natural and human impacts on aquatic systems. … it is intended as a practical guide to modeling, but it will make an excellent supplementary resource for the students. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (M. S. Field, CHOICE, November, 2005)"This book focuses on giving practical support for geochemical modelling … . Is it worthwhile to buy this book … ? Absolutely yes! … Altogether 69 clearly and carefully explained exercises are provided to enhance the knowledge step-by-step. … This book is recommended to all those with some basic hydrogeological or chemical understanding, to graduate students in geosciences, environmental sciences or related studies as well as to representatives of public authorities and enterprises who want to understand the hydrogeochemical interactions better."
