Abstract
Alkalinity is an essential parameter for understanding geochemical processes and calculating partial pressure of $CO_2$ , dissolved inorganic carbon, and mineral saturation indices. The Gran Titration Method (GTM) is one of the most accurate methods for measuring the alkalinity in water samples. However, this method has not been widely employed in measuring groundwater alkalinity in Korea, probably due to inadequate and insufficient understanding of the method. In this regard, this article was prepared to introduce GTM and related know-hows learned from the authors' experiences in measuring alkalinity. This paper also introduces a MS Excel-based alkalinity calculator as a handy tool for GTM.
