The 2nd edition of “Groundwater Geochemistry – A practical guide to modeling of natural and contaminated aquatic systems” remains the comprehensive text book offering beginners and advanced modellers alike a minimum theoretical background and a strong focus on the practical solution of geochemical modeling with PHREEQC.

The new edition covers the possibility to use PITZER equation and the CD music concept within the new version of PHREEQC. Examples for reactive transport use PHREEQC?s 1d features with multicomponent diffusion as well as PHAST with the graphical user interface GoPhast on 2d and 3d examples. Implementing uncertainties of thermodynamically data is addressed by means of the program Ljungskile. As in the 1st edition, detailed descriptions on how to solve each problem step by step guide the user from basic to more and more advanced hydrogeochemical modelling.
