Popis: | Fourteen catchment areas of wells with acid groundwater were limed with rather high dosages of calcium carbonate, ranging from 1.6–5.0 kg m‐2. Three to four years after liming the drinking water of three wells gives a clear indication of the treatment. In two recharge areas the soil chemistry were intensively studied and the base saturation has increased to a depth of 60–70 cm from the surface. The ion balance has changed in the soil layers and a transport of base cations seems to be going on towards the groundwater. |
