Oxidation of Iron Causes Removal of Phosphorus and Arsenic from Streamwater in Groundwater-Fed Lowland Catchments

The fate of iron (Fe) may affect that of phosphorus (P) and arsenic (As) in natural waters. This study addresses the removal of Fe, P, and As from streams in lowland catchments fed by reduced, Fe-rich groundwater (average: 20 mg Fe L–1). The concentrations of dissolved Fe (
