Aqueous geochemistry studies the role of various elements in watersheds and how elemental fluxes are exchanged through atmospheric-terrestrial-aquatic interactions.
The chemistry of water can reveal aspects of where it is from and how old it is. In this study published by the Geological Survey of Canada, the geochemical analysis of the Englishman River provides valuable information on surface water and groundwater interactions, including seasonal aquifer contribution to river flow.
