Hydrogeochemistry is the study of the chemical composition of water and its interaction with geological materials. It involves investigating the source, distribution, and movement of chemical elements and compounds in water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Hydrogeochemists analyze the chemical characteristics of water to understand its impact on the environment, human health, and natural resources. This field of research is important for addressing water quality issues, assessing pollution levels, and managing water resources sustainably.
