Comments

Your team has done some important research, and also realizes how important it is to reach out to your community and help them to understand the problems with acid rain.

What types of practices are the farmers doing which are increasing the acidity of the rain?

Are there some things they could do instead of those practices so they could still do their farming but have a lesser negative impact of the environment?
This study is on an important topic. The tools and instruments used are clearly stated. It's nice that the data collection numbers are given. The bar graphs of water conductivity and acidity are good. Nice project.
