Hydrogeochemistry
Description: Hydrogeochemistry is one of the most important disciplines that arose at the junction of hydrogeology and geochemistry and deals with the study of the material (ionic, gas, isotopic) composition of groundwater, its formation processes, the history and migration of chemical elements in the underground hydrosphere.
