Highlights
•
We investigate hydrogeochemistry of pristine basaltic aquifers.
•
Groundwater is largely undersaturated with primary silicate minerals.
•
We evaluate relative mobility of major and trace elements in groundwater.
•
V, U, Zn, and Cr show higher variability in their occurrence and mobility.
•
Water–rock interaction, pH, and redox control mobility of elements in groundwater.
