The aim of this article is to review the literature on the application of the total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF) spectrometry for the determination of the chemical composition of aqueous samples. Details of the main stages of the analytical procedures are described. Special attention is given to the sample preparation procedure, current instrumentation, and potential error sources when analyzing the water samples of varying compositions. The examples of matrix effects and spectral interferences as well as the analytical figures of merit are also presented.
