Through addressing the above questions, the ultimate aim is to improve guidance
on the design and maintenance of ponds and wetlands to reduce the contribution of
farm steading run-off to diffuse pollution of Scottish waters.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We acknowledge the support of SEERAD in funding the Langside research, Colin
Crawford (Scottish Agricultural College) for field support and the farmers at Old Castle,
Langside and Black Loch for access to their land. Jill Lancaster (The University of
Edinburgh) and SEPA advised on the macroinvertebrate surveys.
