WEB-PHREEQ
is
a
web-based
computer
application
for
aqueous
geochemical
modeling.
WEB-PHREEQ
was
developed
for
classroom
teaching
and
for
routine
calculation
of
the
distribution
of
chemical
species
in
water.
Users
can
calculate
the
effects
of
mixing
of
waters,
adding
phases
to
the
solution,
or
changing
the
solution's
temperature,
Eh,
or
