Tywi
liming progress report, April – June 2011
This report presents the work undertaken and the
progress made on the Tywi liming project in the period from April – June 2011.
Approximately 55 tonnes of lime was dosed in the period from April – June. The
rainfall adjusted target for the period was 108 tonnes.
Copied from From AST website
Despite years of damage to rivers from acid rain,
volunteers have managed to turn around resultant declines in salmonid
populations.
CTV News reports that an ongoing project to continuously add lime particles to the West River, to help maintain pH levels, has seen a 400% increase in the river's salmon population over the last six years. This is the only such project in North America, and costs roughly $50,000 each year.
