The document discusses hydrogeochemistry and provides an overview of the physical and chemical properties of natural groundwater, including common ions, total dissolved solids, pH, and other indicators. It also covers sampling procedures and parameters like turbidity, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and isotopes that are important to measure in the field. The document emphasizes that groundwater properties depend on geological conditions and interactions between water and minerals in the subsurface.

1. Physical and Chemical Property of Water
• Water is highly reactive substance having a
great capacity to dissolve solids, liquids and gasses • In natural cond. Groundwater properties depend on geological condition, age of water and source of water itself • Natural dissociation H2O → H+ + OH- 1. Physical and Chemical Property of Water Some important basic indicators of water (notice in the field survey) Color : Temperature : pH : TDS : Total dissolved solids (mg/L) Smell : Taste : Eh : Redox Potential (volt) TSS: Total Suspended Solids (mg/L) Turbidity : NTU related with TSS EC : Electrical Conductivity (siemens / cm) DO : Dissolved Oxygen Salinity : related with saline Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) • a measure of the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid. • Primary sources for TDS in receiving waters are agricultural and residential runoff, leaching of soil contamination and point source water pollution discharge from industrial or sewage treatment plants. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Jenis air TDS (mg/l)
1 Air tawar (fresh) 0 – 1.000
2 Air payau (brackish) 1.000 – 10.000
3 Air asin (saline) 10.000 – 100.000
4 Brine water > 100.000
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Turbidity • TSS : non-filterable residue (NFR), Colloids, in the lab. filtered in 0.45 micro meters filter, unit is mg/L • Turbidity, is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by individual particles (suspended solids) that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air, unit is NTU (Nephelometric Unit) • a correlation between turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) is somewhat unique for each location or situation. pH (acidity) • which measures the hydrogen ion concentration in water • Pure water has pH around 7, but not all natural water has pH 7 • Less than 7 is called as acid • More than 7 is called as base Dissolved Oxygen (DO) • relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in water (mg/L) Salinity • is the saltiness or dissolved salt content (such as sodium chloride, magnesium and calcium sulfates, and bicarbonates) of a body of water or in soil. Water salinity Fresh water Brackish water Saline water Brine < 0.05% 0.05 – 3% 3 – 5% > 5% < 0.5 ‰ 0.5 – 30 ‰ 30 – 50 ‰ > 50 ‰ Electrical Conductivity (EC) or Specific Conductance • is measures a material's ability to conduct an electric current (Siemens per meter) Sm-1 or microsiemens/cm
Material Resistivity (Ωm) EC (Sm-1)
