Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of
groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is
very often neglected. Hydrogeochemical studies have focused mainly
on the distribution and behaviour of constituents that cause
deterioration of water quality, such as: nitrate, nitrite or iron
and manganese. Therefore, most recent books and papers concentrate
mainly on these constituents and only a small number of papers
describe the results of groundwater studies on other important
water components such as calcium or magnesium. Calcium and
magnesium are of great importance to human wellbeing and inadequate
intake of either nutrient can impair health. The main objective of
this book is to present a selection of studies on calcium and
magnesium in groundwater and to highlight their importance for
human health. The chapters in this book are written by
hydrogeologists and hydrochemists as well as medical doctors and
include: methods of investigation of calcium and magnesium in
groundwaters, distribution and behaviour of calcium and magnesium
in different aquifers, calcium and magnesium in bottled mineral and
spring waters, and the significance of calcium and magnesium in
waters for human health.
