Sommario/riassunto: Calcium and magnesium are abundant in groundwater, but the role of groundwater as the essential source of these important nutrients is very often neglected. Hydrogeochemical studies are focused mainly on distribution and behaviour of constituents that cause deterioration of water quality, such as: nitrate, nitrite or iron, manganese. Therefore, most recent books and papers concentrate mainly on these water components and only a small number of papers describe results of groundwater studies on valuable water components as calcium or magnesium.
