Abstract
A sound description of the flow pathways and residence times of water is widely recognised to be a prerequisite for understanding and modelling the mechanisms of surface water acidification (Hornung et al., 1986). Similarly, a quantitative description of how catchment liming will reverse acidification, in particular the duration and intensity of reversal in different situations, presupposes an adequate knowledge of catchment hydrology.
