Calculate water type

Description

Water type based on anions Cl, SO4, HCO3 and cations Ca, Mg, Na and K. Elements are ranked by proportion MEQ, all greater than 10% are listed in descending order of presence, cations first. Water type is only calculated for samples with valid charge balances. Missing ions are ignored (i.e. treated as 0).

Usage

water_type(d)

Arguments

`d`	Data frame. Must contain columns `Sample_Date`, `SampleID`, `StationID`, `Cl_meq`, `SO4_meq`, `HCO3_meq`, `Ca_meq`, `Mg_meq`, `Na_meq`, `K_meq`, and `charge_balance`.

Value

Data frame with added column water_type.

Examples


d <- data.frame(Sample_Date = "2022-01-01", SampleID = "999990-01", StationID = 000,
                Cl_meq = 0.0226, SO4_meq = 0.0208, HCO3_meq = 1.54,
                Ca_meq = 0.187, Mg_meq = 0.490, Na_meq = 0.465, K_meq = 0.0665,
                charge_balance = 0.5)

d <- water_type(d)
