Why are lakes that have been affected by acid rain often clear and blue?
A clear blue lake is often appealing to humans; it seems like a good place for a swim, like a swimming pool. Biologically, however, there is probably nothing living in it. When plants are living in the water, it usually gains a greenish tinge. The presence of plants and animals tends to cloud the water due to their activities and body processes. So, no organics, nothing to "cover up" the clear blue. Most acidic bodies of water do not look polluted. As decaying organic matter settles, acidified water can appear clear and blue.

On a map what color is for water?
When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.

Does the color of water affect the color of the sky?
Kind of. You see, the actual color of the sky is clear. When the sun's rays hits the ocean water, it reflects into the air, and makes the sky look blue to the human eye. However, water is also clear. The ocean is clear. The things that makes it it's colors are the Sun's rays and what's inside of it like algae and all that stuff. So technically yes, the color of water affects the color of the sky.

Why does water look blue when the water is actually clear?
In general open expanses of water reflect whatever colour is predominant in the environment. This usually tends to be the sky colour. If the sky is clear, water in the sea or lakes will appear blue. If the sky is dull, so also will be the water surface. The tap water in the glass will still usually be clear.
