Description: ABSTRACT: A stream "mesocosm" was used to support an experiment designed to examine the effect of additions of treated acid mine drainage on the composition and abundance of periphytic algae and aquatic invertebrates downstream of acid mine discharge from Equity mine site. The success of applying the mesocosm approach within a rigid and well structured experimentaldesign in this strudy was discussed with respect to its application to manywater quality problems.
