Many upland river catchments in the UK have been historically mined for metals such as lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), and as part of the mining process large quantities of metal contaminated sediment were released into the river system. The levels of sedim... Read More about The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins.
