New publication on modelling pollution from acid mine drainage in a reservoir lake

A new publication by Ecohydrology researchers Philippe Van Cappellen and Raoul Couture and Spanish colleagues explores the fate of trace metals and sulfur in sediments of a reservoir lake impacted by acid mine drainage. The modeling study shows that the sediments act as a net sink for the pollutants, however, it will require cessation of the inflow of acid mine drainage to significantly improve water quality in the reservoir. DOI:10.1016/j.chemgeo.2015.10.023
