| Title | Analysis of Zinc Concentration from Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) in the Ceredigion Region, Wales: An Assessment of the Rheidol and Ystwyth River's Contamination Sources |
| Summary | The current situation of the Afon Rheidol and Afon Ystwyth, in the Ceredigion region at Western Wales, United Kingdom, regarding levels of contamination due to the historical mining activities requires special attention (Rees, 2004). The implications and distresses on the environmental conditions and the hydrological resources of the Welsh region due to such pollution are greatly relevant. This research project will seek and enable the understanding of these conditions; and will serve to recognize the potential for remediation and mitigation measures for the rivers. The project will assess the conditions of the hydrological resources of the Afon Rheidol and Afon Ystwyth; with an analysis of their water quality, to determine the environmental impact of the Cwm Rheidol and Cwm Ystwyth -located at the edges of each river accordingly-. As it will be described, the project will focus on the concentration of Zinc -Zn- in the water and its contrast against environmental regulations in Wales, the United Kingdom and the European Commission. |
