The International Hydrological Decade (which ended in 1975) led to
a revival of hydrological sciences to a degree which, seen in
retrospect, is quite spectacular. This research programme had
strong government support, no doubt due to an increased awareness
of the role of water for prosperous development. Since water
quality is an essential ingredient in almost all water use, there
was also a considerable interest in hydrochemistry during the
Decade. As many concepts in classical hydrology had to be revised
during and after the Decade there was also a need for revising
hydrochemistry to align it with modern hydrology. A considerable
input of fresh knowledge was also made in the recent past by
chemists, particularly geochemists, invaluable for understanding
the processes of mineralization of natural waters. With all this in
mind it seems natural to try to assemble all the present knowledge
of hydrochemistry into a book and integrate it with modern
hydrology as far as possible, emphasizing the dynamic features of
dissolved substances in natural waters. Considering the role of
water in nature for transfer of substances, this integration is
essential for proper understanding of processes in all related
earth sciences. The arrangement of subjects in the book is as
follows. After a short introductory chapter comes a chapter on
elementary chemical principles of particular use in hydrochemistry.
