A drought is a prolonged period of below-average precipitation that causes a water deficit in a particular area. Capable of lasting for months to years, the degree of drought severity and its duration depends on a number of compounding factors, including precipitation, soil moisture, stream flow, ground water and reservoir levels, agricultural health, local geography, and snowpack. Humans also play an important role in drought through factors such as water demand and water management policies. Additionally

Background Research In my experiment I will be looking to see how the pH level effects the evaporation rate of water. After looking at previous studies on both water evaporation and the effects pH can have I created my hypothesis that the lower that the pH level of the water is the faster the rate of evaporation in the water will be. Evaporation is when liquid is vaporized from the surface of the liquid into the form of gas. It happens when atoms escape from the liquid and become vapor. If the relative
