 Comparison of the geochemistry of the regulated Lule River and the unregulated Kalix River, Northern Sweden
Impacts of river regulation were evaluated by comparison with the natural geochemical seasonal variations in the pristine Kalix River, which is very close geographically and has comparable watershed with similar bedrock, soil type, climate and vegetation.
Seasonal variations of the geochemical constituents in the regulated Lule River have been studied during a whole year cycle (May 2000 to June 2001) at the Boden powerstation near the mouth of the river.
Additional data about transport in the Kalix River were achieved from the study of the impact on the Kalix River system of the tailings dam failure at the Aitik copper mine that occurred in September 2000.
