Examines a theoretical basis for the chemical behavior of ocean waters, estuaries, rivers, lakes, groundwaters, and soil water systems. Covers the processes involved in water treatment, comparing real systems with idealized counterparts or models. Discusses chemical processes affecting the distribution and circulation of chemical substances with an ecological perspective on pollution and its control. Also shows the application of elementary principles of physical chemistry, the interplay of chemical equilibria and kinetic considerations, in isolating and identifying some of the variables which affect the composition of the water. Includes numerous graphs and illustrations.
... This will be your bible if you, like me, are studying water chemistry. Stumm and Morgan made a compendium of water chemistry, useful, easy, and full of real examples reviewed in detail. Each time I need to find a formula, a factor or constant, or just a quick look for a doubt, the first book I always took is this one. I truly recommend you this book.
