“…This transfers water from the Odiel watershed (from Corta Atalaya) to the Tinto watershed (Grande et al 2010b). TDS, sulphate, and EC have similar trends, in accordance with the literature (Lyew and Seppard 2001;de la Torre et al 2011;Grande et al 2005Grande et al , 2013Valente et al 2012bValente et al , 2013, because sulfate is a key component of the TDS and EC variations. This happens in the absence of chlorides, often responsible for significant EC increases elsewhere, which could mask the dependency relationships between conductivity and sulfate, as can happen where AMD from fluvial origins enter into an estuarine environment (Grande et al 2003a, b).…”

“…Due to its location in an affluent without relevant mining influence, the water quality of La Joya reservoir is compatible with industrial use (Grande et al, 2013b). Therefore, this reservoir was used to represent the baseline conditions for the IPB.…”

“…1), which is known worldwide by the intensity of the AMD processes, related with the exploitation of sulphides (Carro et al, 2011;Elbaz-Poulichet et al, 2001;Grande et al, 2013a;Sánchez-España et al, 2005). The climate conditions together with the geology and mining history have promoted a scenario where numerous water reservoirs have signs of contamination by AMD (Grande et al, 2013b). The present study was performed in one of these sites -the Marismillas reservoir, located in the Riotinto area (Fig.…”

“…In the open atmosphere pyrite oxidative dissolution occurs under the action of groundwater. On one hand the resulting acid water may cause environmental problems, such as contamination of surface and ground waters directed to urban and agricultural supply [1][2][3]. Some toxic elements especially, such as arsenic, are closely associated with pyrite.…”
