The underlying principles of limnology, the fruit of much scientific endeavour in the latter part of the nineteenth century and in the early decades of the twentieth, reach beyond the purely scientific or academic pursuits to the development of management strategies to maintain or improve water quality of acid surface waters and their dependent biological communities. The more recent advances in understanding acidified waters have been applied similarly to practical methods of alleviating their unwelcome effects. This book reviews a number of these techniques and their applications and, through the experience of the individual contributors to the Loch Fleet project, 1984 to 1989, considers the results gained there in the wider context of activities with similar objectives elsewhere.
