Watershed liming is a type of way to get rid of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD). It is when you take ground agricultural limestone and spread it over all or part of a watershed. The limestone neutralizes the water that leaves the watershed so it will not infect other bodies of water. Rain, snow, etc. types of water react with limestone and move through soil, in result making it less acidic. The less acidic water will not leach aluminum from soil into close streams and will not make cases of acidic runoff. It also makes forest productivity and health better. : )

Watershed liming involves applying lime to bodies of water to increase the pH levels and counteract acidity caused by acid rain or other pollutants. This process can help restore water quality, support aquatic life, and improve the overall health of the ecosystem within the watershed.
