A survey of 78 lakes and streams in 9 sensitive regions of the Federal Republic of Germany and 1 in western France was conducted in March - April 1983 and December 1981, respectively. The waters show high to extreme acidification. Acidification correlates well with the regional deposition of sulfur from the atmosphere. In areas east of the Rhein-Ruhr industrial district acidification levels rank among the highest reported in the world. In all regions the chemical composition of one or more water samples indicates that adverse biological effects might occur
