- Abstract
The article discusses a stream assessment in the Oswegatchie and Black River drainages. Acidification was investigated with the base-cation surplus (BCS) and the conventional acid-neutralizing capacity by Gran titration. Results showed that the contribution of acidic deposition to stream acidification was greater than that of strongly acidic organic acids in each of the surveys. The percentage attributed to acidic deposition during snowmelt was 81%, whereas the percentage was 66% during the October 2003 survey, when dissolved organic carbon concentrations were highest.
