Edited by M Hornung and R A Skeffington London : HMSO Crown.Copyright 1993 Applications for reproduction should be made to HMSO First published 1993 ISBN 0 11 701666 7 The Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE) is a component research organisation within the Natural Environment Research 'Council. The Institute is part of the Terrestrial and Freshwater Sciences Directorate, and was established in 1973 by the merger of the research stations of the Nature Conservancy with the Institute of Tree Biology. It has been at the forefront of ecological research ever since. The six research stations of the Institute provide a ready access to sites and to environmental and ecological problems in any part of Britain. In addition to the broad environmental knowledge and experience expected of the modern ecologist, each station has a range of special expertise and facilities. Thus, the Institute is able to provide unparallelled opportunities for long-term, multidisciplinary studies of complex environmental and ecological problems. ITE undertakes specialist ecological research on subjects ranging from micro- organisms to trees and mammals, from coastal habitats to uplands, from derelict land to air pollution.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Fly-ash particles produced from the high temperature combustion of fossil-fuels are found in high concentrations in the lake sediments of regions of high acid deposition. The sediment record of these particles showing the onset of industrialisation correlates well with the record of acidification as indicated by diatom analysis. There are two types of fly-ash particle; spheroidal carbonaceous particles produced from the incomplete combustion of the fossil-fuel and inorganic ash spheres formed by the fusing of mineral inclusions present within the fuel. Procedures were developed to extract both types of particle from lake sediments. These involved selective chemical attack to remove unwanted sediment fractions thus enabling quick and accurate particle enumeration.

    East Ayrshire Council Chapter 5 – Water Environment State of the Environment Report Page 1 EAST AYRSHIRE COUNCIL STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT REPORT CHAPTER 5 – WATER ENVIRONMENT SUMMARY Key Messages Water is a valuable resource, which has multiple uses, e.g. potable water supply, waste water disposal, and water for agriculture and industry, ecology and conservation, recreation, sport and transport. There is robust regulation in Scotland which regulates activities to protect the water environment and has led to an improvement in water quality across Scotland and East Ayrshire. In respect of East Ayrshire’s water resources: There are no estuaries or coastal waters. All surface water bodies are within either the Clyde or Solway sub basins. Nine catchments have been identified within or partially within East Ayrshire, i.e. River Ayr, River Clyde, River Dee (Solway), River Doon, River Garnock, River Irvine, River Nith, Water of Girvan and White Cart Water. There are 64 identified surface water bodies including some water bodies with only part of their catchments within East Ayrshire, such as rivers and lochs at the region’s boundary. These comprise a total of 58 river water bodies and 6 lochs. Most of the rivers are mid-altitude or lowland, calcareous or siliceous and medium or small in scale. The lakes, 4 of which are reservoirs (Lochgoin Reservoir, Loch Riecawr, Loch Finlas and Loch Doon) are mid-altitude low or medium alkalinity, deep and large. Compared with the whole of Scotland, East Ayrshire has proportionately less rivers and lochs of good status. Although groundwater in East Ayrshire tended to be of lower quality than Scotland-wide, the new system has noted that since 2012 there are proportionately more groundwater bodies of good status in East Ayrshire than Scotland-wide.
