Abstract
The lake and streams in the Framvarenwatershed were sampled and analyzed in September 1983.The results can be explained by the precipitation ofacid rain containing some sea salts and thedissolution of Farsundite, the dominating rock in thecatchment area. The runoff supplies the surface waterof Framvaren with silica, aluminium, manganese, iron,copper, zinc, cadmium and lead. Reasonablecalculations show that the runoff most likely is themain source for the particulate matter found insediment traps and by filtering off suspendedparticles. Thus the calculations supplement recentstudies of Skei et al. (1996).
