Download or read book Effects of Precipitation on the Acid Mine Drainage Impacted Hewett Fork Watershed written by Zebulon Martin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limited biological recovery in acid mine drainage (AMD) impacted streams may be due in part to a flushing response caused by rainfall events. While there is very little water required to react with sulfide minerals to form AMD, more is required to dissolve and transport the chemical products. Increased discharge allows for the transport of accumulated reaction products from mineral surfaces and mobilization of sediments from streambeds. The objective of this study was to investigate this flushing behavior in the heavily AMD impaired Hewett Fork Watershed by tracking the changes in water chemistry over the course of multiple rain events and seasonal flow regimes.

Book excerpt: This monograph gives a baseline to the worldwide problem of geogenic acidification of lakes following human mining activities, and how to handle this environmental problem. Concepts for the abatement of acidification are addressed including the causes of acidification, and the options to reduce acidified groundwater from overburden dumps, for acid control during the flooding of open-cast mines, and potential measures for in situ treatment through induced biological neutralization.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acidic deposition and its effect on aquatic ecosystems have become major scientific and public policy issues in the United States since the early 1970s, and many diverse studies have been completed. This book is the first comprehensive, integrated synthesis of available information on current and potential effects of acidic precipitation on lakes and streams in geographic regions with a high number of low-alkalinity surface water from the Adirondacks and the Southern Blue Ridge to the Upper Midwest to the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, and the Cascades. Written by leading authors, the book examines the current status of water chemistry and characterizes the processes controlling water chemistry on a regional basis by using and comparing high-quality data sets. Methods for the assessment of long-term changes in water chemistry and their effects in fish and other biota are also presented. The book amply illustrates the substantial diversity among geographical regions with respect to the nature of surface waters and the complexity of their response to acidic deposition. This volume will be of great interest to researchers in limnology, aquatic ecology, environmental chemistry, hydrology, and atmospheric sciences. It will also serve as an important reference for environmental managers and policy makers.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Streams in southeastern Ohio are affected by acid mine drainage (AMD) as a result of historical and present-day mining; effluents from mining sources contribute to elevated acidity and metals loadings within impaired streams. Remediation efforts in the area have been successful in lowering acid and metals concentrations in impaired streams, and biological recovery has been tracked and documented for the past decade. Macroinvertebrate communities in these streams are also influenced by other factors, including hydrological conditions, especially floods and droughts. These two stressors (AMD and hydrology) can have interactive affects that could harm macroinvertebrate communities within impaired streams to varying degree.

This book was released on 2008-08 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 1,7, Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus, 42 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The objective of the study is charactering of the primary flux in an enclosure experiment of chemical and/or biological neutralisation in one of the numerous acidified lakes in the Lusatian mining district, (Germany) and tracing the consequences for the water chemistry, reps. water quality. Sedimentation as one of the most important physical process in the water controls the energy flow through aquatic ecosystems thus normally transporting nutrients to the lake bottom. The rate of seston deposition has great importance for understanding the circulation of organic and mineral matter within a lake and can be regarded as a measure of the nutrient recycling there. Acidity removal amendments (soda ash, organic mater and phosphate) added to the enclosures in different combinations resulted in components specific seston fluxes and in changes in the biological and chemical parameters of the water column. It was found that the addition of neutraliser and organic amendments (ENePo) resulted in a flux of authochthonous particulate matter of 6 - 4g/(m d) and enhanced at most and in a long term (in the course of the experiment) the nutrients (P, C, N) cycling and the water quality (as increasing from the bottom pH gradient was observed). The addition of organic matter to the acidic water column (EPo) resulted in similarly enhanced gross sedimentation but with a small time lag compared to the same treatment of the neutralized water as the assimilation of the nutrients was hindered by the low pH (retaining P in the sediment) and the initially low primary production. The addition of phosphates (ENePo, EP) did not result in a long term and self-sustained enhancement of the primary flux as after P being assimilated and transported to the sediment it remained immobilized there, thus the P eleme
Download or read book Effects of Precipitation Patterns on Sediment Nutrient and Biofilm Dynamics in an Acid Mine Drainage Stream written by Jennie Brancho and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although acid mine drainage (AMD) in the Appalachian Coal Basin has been studied for decades, the effects of climate change on these streams are not well documented. Climate change predictions for this area include increased storm frequency and intensity, which may alter AMD generation, iron hydroxide precipitation, and fate and transport of contaminants and sediments. These processes substantially affect nutrient availability and the biological communities inhabiting these streams. This study investigates the potential effects of climate change on a treated AMD stream, Hewett Fork, by quantifying changes in nutrient concentrations, sediment transport, and algal biofilm biomass during normal and storm conditions.
