How Does Water Composition Vary from Geographical Standpoint?
Water composition varies throughout the states depending upon the type and strata of the earth formations. In the limestone areas the waters contain large quantities of calcium cabonate. In parts of the country where there is more of the granite type of rock formation, much less mineral matter is dissolved and the water will not contain much hardness. Throughout some state, there are deposits of alkali which the water will pick up. These are the general geographic variations, but local conditions in any area may greatly influence the composition of the water.
