Notes:
The expanded Durov diagram has been widely used to represent the dissolved constituents of natural water and to show plausible hydrochemical processes occurring within the hydrological systems. Because of the time required to calculate Durov diagram coordinates and to plot the points, especially when dealing with large numbers of chemical analyses, the treatment of such data is often quite a tedious process. To alleviate this problem, DurovPlot program is designed to help users in calculating and plotting the diagram in a very short time. The program is written in BASIC as a special menu-driven hydrochemical data analyses code. It was compiled using Microsoft QuickBASIC version 4.5 compiler. The utilization of this program requires the acquisition of an IBM-PC or compatible with at least 512K bytes of memory, one disk drive (at least 360K bytes), a graphic card (EGA or VGA), and at least DOS version 5.0. DurovPlot possesses several advantages such as the ease with which the data can be entered, edited, and retrieved. The results of computation and plotting are obtained in seconds, depending on the amount of data analyzed and the speed of the computer processor.
