Liming strategies and effects: the River Högvadsån case study

  • Chapter
Liming of Acidified Surface Waters

Abstract

The main stream of River Ätran was developed for power generation in the 1920s. River Högvadsån, a relatively unspoiled tributary, thereby became very important in the reproduction of the genetically unique population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). River Ätran and River Högvadsan are also among the finest waters in western Sweden for recreational fishing (Lindgren 1992).
