How does this work link in with the limestone trials and Goolwa Channel temporary flow regulators project?

0

The Goolwa Channel temporary flow regulators will raise water levels, saturating soils to prevent more acid from forming and provide the right environment for ‘sulfate reducing’ bacteria so bioremediation can take place. If the water is too acidic then the bacteria will struggle. Adding finely ground limestone can help neutralise the acid and promote bioremediation. Aerial and machine seeding carried out in the Lower Lakes region, including the Goolwa Channel, will also promote bioremediation when water levels rise and saturate the sediments. The plants provide organic matter to help ‘sulfate reducing’ bacteria reverse the acid forming process.
