Water chemistry : the chemical processes and composition of natural and engineered aquatic systems /
This book provides students with the tools necessary to understand the processes that control the chemical species present in waters of both natural and engineered systems. After providing basic information about water itself and the chemical composition of water in environmental systems, the text c...
