In this course the participant will be introduced to the natural geochemical exchange that occurs when water travels through the atmosphere, soil and rock, and the changes in water quality related to climate and land use change and human activities. The focus is to provide basic knowledge that allows the participant to interprete water quality data. The course includes a PHREEQC geochemical model workshop for calculation of impacts of temperature change, addition of acid to drip irrigation water, and changes in CO2 pressures on the hydrochemistry of water.
