Hydrochemistry · in the browser

Your water chemistry,
visualised.

Drop in a CSV of major-ion analyses and get clean, publication-ready hydrochemical diagrams — Piper, Stiff, Schoeller, Chadha and Durov — with charge-balance QA and water-type classification done for you. No install, no upload, no spreadsheet wrangling.

What it does
Built for the parts everyone hates doing by hand

The plotting is the easy bit. Hydrochart handles the tedious quality-control and classification work that usually lives in a fragile spreadsheet.

Charge-balance QA + TDS

Every analysis gets a charge-balance error (flagged beyond ±5%) and a TDS value — measured if supplied, or estimated from the ions when it isn't.

Seven diagram types

Piper, Stiff, Schoeller, Chadha, Durov, Gibbs, and a bivariate engine (Na–Cl, Gaillardet weathering and more) — all from one dataset, with automatic facies classification.

Editable data grid

Upload a CSV or type analyses in by hand. Fix a sample name, add a row, and the figure updates as you go.

🎨

Full colour control

Recolour any group or facies, hide categories, and switch to a colourblind-safe palette for publication.

Vector & raster export

Download a crisp SVG for figures, a high-res PNG for slides, or your cleaned data back out as CSV.

🔒

Private by design

All computation happens in your browser. Your monitoring data never touches a server.

How it works
Three steps, about a minute
1

Bring your data

Upload a CSV (or type rows in by hand) — one row per sample, with major-ion concentrations in mg/L:

Required: Ca, Mg, Na, HCO₃, SO₄, Cl

Optional: a Sample name, plus K, CO₃ and TDS

Column headers are matched automatically, so common variants (Sodium, Bicarbonate, EC…) are recognised.

Check the QA

Review charge-balance errors and assigned water types. Tune the classification threshold to your method.

3

Style & export

Set colours and marker size, then export a publication-ready SVG or PNG — and your tidied CSV.

Your data doesn't leave your laptop

Hydrochart is a static web app — there's no backend and no account. Monitoring data, bore IDs, and locations are processed entirely on your device, which matters when the numbers are confidential.
