Abstract:Acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the most important global causes for polluted water. It occurs in mining areas due to oxidation of sulfide minerals. Depending on hydrological conditions, wetlands are considered suitable for passive treatment of AMD. The aim of the study was to characterize the long-term retention performance of a drained wetland, Briesener Niedermoor, in an iron and sulfate contaminated catchment area. The site is located in the Lusatian lignite mining district, Germany. Hydrological and hy… Show more
