Hydrogeochemistry – A Journey of Discovery

Understanding the origin of geogenic solutes (dissolved chemical elements unaffected by human activity) in groundwater has broader implications than a traditional water resource investigation. Humans evolved over millions of years drinking water from springs and seeps within a narrow range of solute compositions and concentrations as did nearly all terrestrial animals, fish, and plants. Accordingly,
