ABOUT THE COURSE:The focus of this course is to develop an understanding of the chemical compositions of natural waters. The physiochemical and biogeochemical processes operating in aqueous systems: equilibrium vs. kinetic controls, redox reactions, aqueous complexes, chemical weathering, etc. Moreover, the application of stable and radiogenic isotope geochemistry used for fingerprinting processes that control water chemistry (rivers, oceans, groundwater) will be discussed. Simple hydrogeochemical modelling techniques will also be introduced for source apportionments, flux calculations, speciation modelling, ecological risk assessments and water quality determination.INTENDED AUDIENCE: MS, M.Sc. & Ph.D. students working on water related research topics. Also relevant for professionals who are working in any government, private, NGO that is addressing water science & researchPREREQUISITES: B.Sc. in any discipline related to Earth Sciences, Environmental Science or B.Tech. Civil Engineering; Water Resource ManagementINDUSTRY SUPPORT: All mining, paper, paints, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automobile, and textile industries
