What Causes High Alkalinity in Water?
Water is the most important liquid for sustained life because of its neutral pH of 7. It replenishes the supply of liquids lost through sweat and urine without changing our chemical balance. Alkalinity in water is preferable to acidity; with all the pollutant sources of industry and transportation, acid rain is on the rise, and high water alkalinity acts as a buffer to neutralize excess acidity. Recognizing the relationship between water, alkalinity and our ecosystem can help us better understand the delicate balance of our environment.
