Neutralizing Acid Natural Waters

As a result of the draining of forests and peatlands and peat production, acidic surface runoff waters can develop at production sites. Depending on the situation of the receiving watercourse, the amount of water and the acidic burden, these waters must sometimes be neutralised before conducting them into the watercourse. In addition to the acidic burden, the runoff water may contain harmful amounts of metals such as aluminium, iron and manganese.
