به خواندن ادامه دهیدHow Does pH Affect Water? pH is an indicator of the acid or alkaline condition of water. The pH scale ranges from 0-14, with 7 indicating the theoretical neutral point. Low pH values are acidic, while high values are considered basic, or alkaline. Solutions with a pH of 7 are perfectly balanced between acidity and alkalinity and considered neutral.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدLimestone mining can pollute water and create sinkholes. When limestone dissolves while it's still in the ground, caves and gullies form, a natural phenomenon known as karst. Although this doesn't hurt the environment in its natural form, once the limestone is mined out, sinkholes can form and disrupt underground waterways.
