- pH and Water | U. S. Geological Survey - USGS. gov
pH is a measure of how acidic basic water is The range goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base The pH of water is a very important measurement concerning water quality
