Alkalinity Of Drinking Water Alkalinity of water is the capacity of water to resist changes in pH that would make the water more acidic. In another word, alkalinity of water is a measure of the water's ability to neutralize acidity. In summary, alkalinity of water can be defined as the buffering capacity of a water body; a measure of the ability of the water body to neutralize acids and bases and thus maintain a fairly stable pH level" Alkalinity is basically dissolved minerals in the water that help neutralize the water, alkalinity is one of the characteristics display by water when bicarbonates, carbonates, and hydroxides are present in Water, these minerals have their sources from lime rocks as water percolates through rocks and soil. Alkalinity acts as a buffer if any changes are made to the water's pH value. The Alkalinity in the water will help keep the water's pH stabilized. Alkalinity is often related to hardness because the main source of alkalinity i...
