Rocks, soils, and water quality. Relationships and implications for effects of acid precipitation on surface water in the Northeastern United States

The effect of rocks and soils in the northeastern U.S.A. on the pH value and alkalinity of surface water was investigated, and the results were used to develop two mathematical models to describe the importance of rocks and soils on water quality and on the sensitivity of surface waters to acidifica...

Description
Summary:	The effect of rocks and soils in the northeastern U.S.A. on the pH value and alkalinity of surface water was investigated, and the results were used to develop two mathematical models to describe the importance of rocks and soils on water quality and on the sensitivity of surface waters to acidification by acid precipitation.
