rainwater

Environment Secretary Steve Reed is to pledge to ensure "only rainwater" enters England's largest lake.

Elsewhere, roads into the camp have been churned up, armoured bulldozers creating piles of earth and pools of muddy rainwater.

This happens because carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in rainwater to form carbonic acid - this then percolates through the rock and reacts with it, causing it to dissolve.

Officials later built a $1.5-million drain pipe to divert rainwater away from the basin and worked to increase storage capacity of the area’s catch basins.

According to the report, “bare soil allows more rainwater runoff, changing the way that erosion works in the ecosystem. Dust from the impact or air burst can make it into the atmosphere, with climate effects.”
