The Geochemistry of Natural Waters: Surface and Groundwater Environments

by James I. Drever

An examination of both theoretical and practical approaches to the geochemistry of natural waters with a more tightly focused emphasis on fresh-water environments. The third edition focuses more on environmental issues than the previous edition, reflecting the importance on environmental geochemistry as a result of increased environmental awareness and regulatory requirements. Prepares readers to interpret the probable cause of a particular water composition and to predict the probable water chemistry in those situations where data do not exist.

This book is hardcore, but useful to any deep lore scholar of aqueous geochemistry, whether acolyte grad student or long-career professional. I used this book to plan and teach an advanced geochem modeling course for hydrogeology grad students & it was an awesome reference, although much of the language is a bit tricky to parse.
