Objetivo
TO EXAMINE THE EFFECTS OF VARIATIONS IN ACID DEPOSITION ON THE COMPOSITION OF GROUNDWATERS.
THE RESEARCH INCLUDES THE EXAMINATION OF EFFECTS, THROUGH A COMPLETE SEASONAL CYCLE, OF VARIATIONS IN ACID DEPOSITION ON THE COMPOSITION OF GROUNDWATERS IN A NUMBER OF AREAS WITH DIFFERENT SUPERFICIAL DEPOSITS, BEDROCK GEOLOGY AND LAND USES.
THERE ARE TWO MAIN STAGES AS FOLLOWS:-
1) SELECTION OF CATCHMENT AREAS FOR RESEARCH: THIS IS A DESK STUDY, FOLLOWED BY VERIFICATION OF THE CHOSEN SITES IN THE FIELD. THE MAIN VARIABLES TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT ARE: ACID DEPOSITION; SUPERFICIAL SEPOSITS; SOLID GEOLOGY AND LAND USE.
2) FIELD COLLECTION, LABORATORY ANALYSES AND INTERPRETATION OF ACID DEPOSITION AND GROUNDWATER THROUGH A SINGLE SEASONAL CYCLE. FIELD COLLECTION VARIABLES INCLUDE WET PRECIPITATION (RAIN AND SNOW) AND ESTIMATES OF DRY DEPOSITION MADE AT TWO WEEK INTERVALS.
