Summary
The course „Hydrogeochemistry and Water Sampling“ is providing information on the basic properties of water systems, chemical composition of waters in respect to the origin of individual components, forms of their occurence and their properties. Students will be also acquinted with occurence, properties and behaviour of pollutants in waters including the basic methods of their analytical determination.
