Overview

Objectives/Goals My objective is to find out if water in the Kings River becomes more acidic or more basic as it flows. I believe the water will become more basic. Methods/Materials I took 8 ounce bottles and collected water from different areas of the Kings River. I tested the water with a pH meter. Results The water became more basic as it traveled down its course. Conclusions/Discussion My conclusion is that water in the Kings River becomes more basic as it travels down its course.
