Abstract: | A hydrochemical investigation was carried out on eight small High Tatra mountain lakes (Poland).
When comparing recent data with those from the period 1935–1965, a constant process of acidification of the lakes is found.
The average pH of precipitation is 4.8 in the study area, but the lakes are in two stages of acidification: weak (pH 6.0–6.5)
and intermediate (pH 5.5–5.8). The differences are due to differences in water sources. |
