Ground water quality chemistry is one way to study what minerals, compounds and other elements found in water contribute to water quality and what are part of water pollution. Clean water, that is water with no inclusions at all, may not taste as delicious as water with some minerals and other "ingredients".
The highest water quality is widely believed to be pure water: H20 and nothing else. But in fact, good-tasting, natural water is full of chemicals. Water is one of the most powerful solvents found in nature, capable of dissolving and containing a wide variety of elements, minerals, and other compounds. Ground water quality chemistry is the study of the chemicals and particles found in ground water. Some of the materials found in naturally occurring water - called solutes - are classified as pollutants because they can harm human health. But other solutes are essential to health, and even improve the taste of water.
