Publisher Summary Groundwater chemistry is largely a function of mineral composition, the
formation through which it flows due to rock–water interaction. Evaporation and
concentration, dilution due to precipitation also can change the chemical composition of
groundwater but rock–water interaction is the major process because solid phases
(inorganic and organic matter) are the primary sources and sinks of dissolved constituents of
groundwater. During groundwater movement along its path from recharge to discharge …
