Abstract The presence of acid rain is hard to recognize, so its effects are also difficult to distinguish. In this study, an artificial acid rain was created to know its effects on the aquatic plant using two different kinds of water, rainwater and distilled water. There were six (6) containers used, the 3 having rainwater w/ drops of AAR (Artificial acid rain) and 20 duckweeds while the other 3 having distilled water w/ drops of AAR and 20 duckweeds. The experimental setups were observed for 3-5 days. Every day, the numbers of leaves of the duckweed were counted, which determined if the plant was still alive. The results showed that more plants died in the rainwater with more drops of AAR than the distilled water.

To know the effect of artificial acid rain into aquatic plant
3. To differentiate the effects of artificial acid rain on aquatic plant, according to the kind of water used
Scope and Delimitations This study will mainly focus on the effect on the quality of water on aquatic plant during acid rain. It does not include any data about other aquatic organisms/animals/plants except for the duckweed. This study will be conducted beside the Pasig River for the collection of the plant. It is advised that the person who will conduct the experiment should use proper sanitary equipments like gloves and mask.
Significance of the Study According to a study the worsening air pollution from economic expansion is causing a higher acidity in rainwater in cities across Asia, including the Philippines(Julsawad, 2013).This study aims to determine the effects of the quality of water on aquatic plant during acid rain.It can help to know how an aquatic plant is being affected by acid rain (using a substitute acid rain by adding vinegar to the water) on different types of water. This will also help to determine if there is a high acidity on the rainwater that will be used in the experiment by using the pH test
