In this problem, we should pay attention to acid rains and their impact on the ground.

We know that acid rains have a lower pH value relative to normal rainwater.

Our task is to consider the among pH readings taken of precipitation in the immediate vicinity of acid-rain producing smokestack and at regular intervals upfield and downfield from the site.

Our task is to sketch the graph that shows what we expect to find, using previously explained happening.
