pH
pH refers
to the acidity or basic nature of a solution. It plays a vital role in aquatic
ecosystems. Minor variations in pH can have lethal consequences. The ideal pH range that supports most life forms is from 6.5 to 8.2. Most of the
pH data obtained from Enchanted Lakes conforms to this standard, although
the slight occasional deviation leaned toward a more basic pH, most likely due to seawater intrusion.
