	Water Resource Characterization DSS - Heavy Metals
		The solubility of trace metals in surface waters is predominately controlled by the water pH, the type and concentration of ligands on which the metal could adsorb, and the oxidation state of the mineral components and the redox environment of the system (Connell et al., 1984).
		The behavior of metals in natural waters is a function of the substrate sediment composition, the suspended sediment composition, and the water chemistry.
