Hydrogeology

Abstract

The evaluation and representation methods enable the classification of groundwater types, i.e. the classification of different types of groundwater according to their solutes and the grouping of geohydrochemically or genetically similar groundwater into units (or types). The goal is to investigate the geohydrochemical properties of groundwater generally, using a discrete statistical record of geohydrochemical data from a specific groundwater occurrence.
