There are several sources of pH altering material:
- Fertilizers that contain nitrates are often used around urban areas
- Acid rain decreases the pH.
- The surrounding bed rock affects the pH, so for example limestone will have a smaller pH than granite.
- Acid mine drainage
- Acid and alkali spills
- Industrial discharges
- Organic pollution
- Livestock waste

When rain rolls into a stream what is that called?
When rainwater flows into a stream, it is called runoff. Runoff is the movement of water over the land surface, ultimately reaching streams, rivers, and bodies of water.
Which is a way thst groundwater depletion affects streams?
Groundwater depletion can lower the water table, leading to reduced base flow in streams. This decrease in base flow can impact stream ecosystems, aquatic life, and water quality. Additionally, it can increase the risk of stream drying up during dry periods.
What is a warm water current that can affect the climate of the British Isles?
The North Atlantic Drift, a branch of the Gulf Stream, is a warm water current that affects the climate of the British Isles. It helps to keep the region milder and more temperate than other areas at similar latitudes.
Which of these is a form of moving surface water?
We typically think of surface water as primarily existing in lakes and rivers. Moving surface water would primarily be in the form of rivers and streams. Subsurface water moves as well, though slowly, in many aquifers. Indeed, even a glacier moves water in its solid form. There is, of course, turnover of water in any lake or swamp that has an outlet, so that water moves in a technical sense, though the characterization of moving water would typically be reserved for water moving fast enough to be noticeable. There does not seem to be a scientific criterion for how fast water needs to move to be considered "moving" in the macroscopic sense. a stream A+
Which ocean current affects Washington DC?
The Gulf Stream is the ocean current that affects Washington DC. It brings warm water from the Gulf of Mexico up the eastern coast of the United States, influencing the climate in the region.
How gradient affects a stream erosive energy?
a stream or river that has low gradient has less energy for erosion
The affects of Rivers?
transportation, water, and fish YUM :)
Why does stream water collect in rivers?
because all streams lead to rivers and rivers lead to the sea and water is collective and gathers in the most siutable area.
How did the Mojave Indians get their water?
JK they just went to the stream and drank that water.
What affects water flow in rivers and streams?
rocks and fallen trees
What are stream-streams?
streams are very small rivers, small amounts of water.
Is a stream bigger than a river?
A lake is a standing body of water, a stream is a flowing body of water. It is therefore almost meaningless to compare their sizes. However a stream usually flows into or out of a lake and therefore logically the lake will be bigger because it either receives or supplies all the water in the stream.
How does soil erosion affect streams and rivers?
soil gets carried off by either wind, water or gravity and then the topsoil is carried into rivers which can increase a rivers water level. As well, soil carries its toxicity with it so if pesticides were being used on that soil it will carry that into the water and pollute it.
Why is the water cycle important for rivers?
Water cycle helps in raising level of rivers. It can be used by mankind.
How would you describe the water of rivers stream and lakes?
cold and worst than the beach
The level of a body of water that a stream flows into also the lowest level to?
The level of a body of water that a stream flows into is called the "base level." It represents the lowest point to which a stream can erode its channel. When a stream reaches its base level, it can no longer lower its bed through erosion, leading to sediment deposition instead. This base level can be influenced by factors such as sea level, dams, or geological uplift.
What is a collection of water?
I think it is water collected in lakes, ponds, oceans, or other bodies of water.
