Freshwater Umbrella Resources
Critical Loads of Acidity and Metals - Final Report
Summary
This report summarises the work carried out under DETR
research contract "Acidification of Freshwaters: the Role of Nitrogen and Prospects for Recovery" (EPG 1/3/117), also
referred to as the CLAM Project. Since the work programme was
very wide-ranging and the data and written outputs very large, it is summarised in this report at three levels. First,
the Executive Summary provides a concise, two-page summary of the major research findings under each of the three Work Packages;
Nitrogen, Recovery and Metals. This is followed by the detailed Technical Summary, which lists the Key Points to emerge from each
Work Package, and then provides a more detailed summary of the work completed and the conclusions to be drawn.
The data and graphical outputs for every Task under each of the Work Packages are reported separately in three extensive documents which accompany the Executive Summary.
