Experimental Watershed Liming Study
Afforested catchments with acid bedrock are particularly susceptible to surface-water acidification. Liming has been used throughout Europe and North America as a means of mitigating the adverse effects of increased acidity of surface waters. One of the principal aims of liming is to increase alkalinity and pH to ensure suitable conditions for fish survival, in particular salmonids. This review examines the range of available liming methods in detail with specific emphasis on their potential use in afforested catchments in Ireland. The most promising method is the stream doser system because the dose rate can be varied automatically in response to changing stream conditions. Other methods worthy of further investigation include the spreading of lime on forest floors and the direct addition of limestone to stream beds. However, a better understanding of hydrological factors is required before a full assessment of terrestrial liming strategies can be made.
