Acid lakes are bodies of water with a low pH, typically below 5.0, resulting from natural processes or human activities, such as acid rain, mining, and industrial pollution. These lakes can have detrimental effects on aquatic life, as many organisms struggle to survive in acidic conditions. The acidity can also alter the chemical composition of the water, affecting nutrient availability and ecosystem health. Acid lakes are often found in regions with high sulfur content in the soil, particularly following volcanic activity or in areas affected by acid precipitation.
