Inter-annual variations in water yield to lakes in northeastern Alberta: implications for estimating critical loads of acidity

Inter-annual variations in water yield to lakes in northeastern Alberta: implications for estimating critical loads of acidity

Stable isotopes of water were applied to estimate water yield to fifty lakes in northeastern Alberta as part of an acid sensitivity study underway since 2002 in the Athabasca Oil Sands Region (AOSR). Herein, we apply site-specific water yields for each lake to calculate critical loads of acidity usi...
