  • More about Water Chemistry: The Chemical Processes and Composition of Natural and Engineered Aquatic Systems


Water Chemistry is a textbook that provides students with the tools to understand the processes that control the chemical species in natural and engineered systems. It covers theoretical concepts and emphasizes the importance of equilibrium and kinetic processes. The updated edition includes discussions on photochemistry, chlorine and disinfectants, geochemical controls, trace metals, nutrients, and oxygen. Quantitative equilibrium and kinetic problems are solved using mathematical, graphical, and computational tools, with examples and web material for advanced content.

Water Chemistry is an essential course for students seeking to understand the complex processes that govern the chemical composition of both natural and engineered water systems. In this comprehensive text, the authors provide a foundational understanding of water and its chemical properties within environmental contexts. They delve into theoretical concepts crucial for solving water chemistry problems, covering topics such as equilibrium and kinetic processes, inorganic constituents, natural and anthropogenic organic chemicals, photochemistry, chlorine and disinfectants, geochemical controls on chemical composition, trace metals, nutrients, and oxygen.

The book emphasizes the importance of quantitative equilibrium and kinetic approaches in aquatic systems, covering topics such as acid-base chemistry, complexation, solubility, oxidation/reduction reactions, sorption, and the fate and reactions of organic chemicals. Students are equipped with mathematical, graphical, and computational tools to solve these problems, with examples demonstrating the application of theory and the use of modern computer-based techniques.

In addition to the core content, the book includes extensive web material that provides advanced topics and additional resources for students seeking a deeper understanding of water chemistry. This resource is particularly valuable for researchers, professionals, and anyone interested in the field of water science and environmental management.

Overall, Water Chemistry is a valuable resource for students and professionals alike, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the field of water chemistry. Its theoretical and practical approach ensures that readers have the tools needed to understand and address the complex challenges associated with water quality and sustainability.
