- Abstract
The article presents a study regarding a mass balance model to measure Lead (Pb) storage and fluxes for an organic-rich upland catchment in the Peak District, England. The model, which is based on Howden reservoir catchments, discloses that majority of Pb in the catchments is stored in soil. It mentions that the Pb storage is high which resulted from urban-industrial conurbations, mining and smelting activity in Peak District National Park. It also relates the erosion and leaching from catchments soils to Howden reservoir. Moreover, it states that future climatic change can transform catchments soils as source of Pb to aquatic environment and water supply.
