Most of the time you only have data for the major cations unless your project needs more elements. Scientifically, you should add ALL cations and ALL anions for the calculation. for Practical purposes, just the major cation and anions do just fine.

hi thank you so much for this article. you answered one of my questions, do you add up all of the cations on you parameters or just the major cations, “The major cations and anions in ground or surface water almost always make up >95% of the ion balance.” but can you elaborate on which valence to use if you do add up the minor cations. For example, antimony has a 3 or 5 valence and copper has a 1 or 2 valence?

and what are the parameters that make up major cations and anions in water analysis?

thank you very much.
