How do acids and bases affect the quality of freshwater sources?

If a substance is too basic, it could possibly harm another organism living in the freshwater source.  If it's too acidic, it could possibly make unsafe living conditions in that environment.  That's why you should always check the pH level in the fish tank and in the pool to see what the pH is.  A pH of 6 - 8 is always safe for fish, whereas a pH of 5 - 9 is safe for pools.

Explanation:

Acids: 0 - 6

Neutral: 7

Bases: 8 - 14

C. Acids lower the pH of freshwater and bases raise the pH of freshwater.

Explanation:

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
