Alkalinity refers to how well a water body can neutralize acids.
These compounds are natural buffers that can remove excess hydrogen ions that have been added from sources such as acid rain or acid mine drainage. The Boulder Creek Watershed is composed primarily of granite rocks, thus the water has a lower alkalinity content. We appreciate all feedback and welcome comments, suggestions and contributions.
