Abstract

As part of the joint British-Scandinavian Surface Waters Acidification Programme, the Institute of Hydrology is establishing catchment studies in Scotland. Data from these catchment studies are being used to develop a range of models for investigating short-term and long-term changes in catchment acidity. Information on the modelling techniques available at the Institute of Hydrology is presented together with applications of the models to catchments in Scotland.
