Pollution in the air, soil or directly in the water can all affect pH. Anthropogenic causes of pH fluctuations are usually related to pollution. Acid rain is one of the best known examples of human influence on the pH of water. Any form of precipitation with a pH level less than 5.0 is known as acid rain ²¹.

Answer:
The optimum pH for river water is around 7.4. Water's acidity can be increased by acid rain but is kept in check by the buffer limestone. Extremes in pH can make a river inhospitable to life. Low pH is especially harmful to immature fish and insects.
