The United Kingdom Acid Waters Monitoring Network (UK AWMN), funded by a consortium led by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, was established in 1988 to monitor the chemical and ecological impact of acid deposition in areas of the UK believed to be sensitive to acidification. Over twenty-three years on, its data-base provides an extremely valuable long-term record of water chemistry and biology which is unique for upland freshwater systems in the UK.
