Special thanks to the Bernheim Forest and the Kentucky Division of Abandoned Mine Lands for their assistance.
This set of four graphic handouts illustrate important concepts from the eight “Acid Mine Drainage” videos: the pH of water and how it changes when water molecules split into hydroxide and hydrogen ions; what the term “logarithmic scale” means relative to pH; how raising pH causes the metal ions of acid mine drainage to fall out of solution; and an acid mine drainage remediation system.
