Description

This report serves three main purposes. Firstly, it provides a refined representation of the sensitivity of Alberta lakes to acidifying atmospheric deposition. Secondly, it compiles data from a number of different surveys of northern lakes; spatial and temporal trends for these potentially sensitive lakes are described. Thirdly, this report documents and evaluates some of the chemical analyses used, providing a foundation for future work.

Description

The purpose of this short paper is to highlight some of the scientific and management components of acid deposition as it pertains to northeastern Alberta. These components include: the evaluation of surface waters at risk; the chemistry of Alberta precipitation; actual deposition rates of acidic materials; the proposed, scientifically acceptable deposition rates of these acidic materials; and the magnitude of current emissions of acid forming gases in Alberta.
