Abstract A set of computer systems (HIDROGEOQUIM, SAMA, GEOQUIM, BATOMET, SACAN, SIMUciN, MODELAGUA and TEMADAT) for hydrochemical data processing with the aim of characterizing and controlling water quality, and simulating the water–rock interaction process, are detailed. Examples of their application to karst costal aquifers are discussed.
