Diagram depicting the sources and cycles of acid rain precipitation. Freshwater acidification occurs when acidic inputs enter a body of fresh water through the weathering of rocks, invasion of acidifying gas (e.g. carbon dioxide), or by the reduction of acid anions, like sulfate and nitrate within a lake, pond, or reservoir.

Meredosia Lake is a riparian lake that forms part of the valley of the Illinois River.It is located in Cass and Morgan Counties, Illinois.Much of the floodplain isthmus between Lake Meredosia and the river is known as Meredosia Island, and much of the quasi-island and associated lakebed are part of the Meredosia National Wildlife Refuge.
Lake-effect rain clouds over the Iranian Caspian coast (June 2016) Lake-effect rain, or bay-effect rain, is the liquid equivalent of lake-effect snow, where the rising air results in a transfer of warm air and moisture from a lake into the predominant colder air, resulting in a fast buildup of clouds and rainfall downwind of the lake.

Both the Kankakee River and Illinois River largely follow paths carved out by the torrent, a process that is believed to have taken only days. [1] Most notable today is a region in north-central Illinois known as Starved Rock; while most of Illinois is located on a low-lying plain with little variation in elevation, Starved Rock State Park ...

The Illinois River (Miami-Illinois: Inoka Siipiiwi [4]) is a principal tributary of the Mississippi River at approximately 273 miles (439 km) in length. Located in the U.S. state of Illinois , [ 5 ] the river has a drainage basin of 28,756.6 square miles (74,479 km 2 ). [ 6 ]
Several southwest Illinois areas recorded between 5 and 8 inches of rainfall, though one locality had more than 9 inches. Here’s what the National Weather Service St. Louis reported Wednesday ...
The effects of acid rain are mostly seen in aquatic ecosystems. As the rain flows through the soil, the acidic water can drain away aluminum from the soil and them flow into streams and lakes. As more acid is released into the environment, more aluminum is also released. There are some plants and animals that are able to tolerate acid rain and ...
