ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON THE RIVER AVOCA: Metal Fluxes in water and sediment. Part II. Metal Contamination of Riverine Sediments
(Tigroney Press, 2017-06-01)
The discharge of acid mine drainage (AMD) from sulphur bearing mineral deposits causes iron to precipitate as hydroxides and the formation of ochreous deposits on the substrate of the receiving river system. The sediments ...
A SUBSTRATE CLASSIFICATION INDEX FOR THE VISUAL ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE IN LOTIC SYSTEMS
(Tigroney Press, 2017-08)
The impact of acid mine drainage (AMD) on lotic receiving waters is complex and
difficult to assess. While low pH, elevated sulphate and metals all characterize AMD
these vary both spatially and temporally, with high ...
THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE
(Tigroney Press, 2017)
This review examine the action of acid mine drainage (AMD), which is a multifactor pollutant, on surface waters. It affects aquatic ecosystems via a number of direct and indirect pathways. Major impact areas are coastal ...
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ACID MINE DRAINAGE ON THE AVOCA RIVER: Metal Fluxes in Water and Sediment. Part III. Metals in Water and Suspended Particulate Matter.
(Tigroney Press, 2017-06-08)
Water and suspended particulate matter (SPM) was collected at weekly intervals during low flow conditions from the Avoca River (May and August, 1994). The total concentration of Zn, Cu, Cd and Fe was measured in both the ...
