Alkalinity (from Arabic: القلوية, romanized: al-qaly, lit. 'ashes of the saltwort') [1] is the capacity of water to resist acidification. [2] It should not be confused with basicity, which is an absolute measurement on the pH scale. Alkalinity is the strength of a buffer solution composed of weak acids and their conjugate bases.
The pH of the stream and its tributaries ranges from 4.0 to 6.1 and the discharge of the main stem is between 1804.3 and 59564.65 gallons per minute, depending on the time and location. The drainage basin of Lick Run has an area of 27.5 square miles and is located in the Pittsburgh Low Plateaus Section of the Appalachian Plateaus geophysical ...
The map is based on alkalinity data from approximately 39,000 lake and stream sites and the associations of the data values with factors such as land use, physiography, geology, and soils. Data were acquired from a variety of sources including federal and state agencies, university researchers. and private corporations.
The stream also has these attributes from the Lofty Reservoir downstream to the Blue Head Reservoir and from the Blue Head Reservoir downstream to the mouth. [2] The pH of Messers Run upstream of the Lofty Reservoir is 6.3. The total concentration of alkalinity in this part of the stream is 3 milligrams per liter. These values are similar to ...
However, the stream is affected by agricultural runoff. [4] The pH of Dark Run 2.66 miles (4.28 km) upstream of its mouth is 7.0 and the concentration of alkalinity at this location is 16 milligrams per liter. The pH of the stream 1.71 miles (2.75 km) upstream of its mouth is 7.4 and the concentration of alkalinity is 28 milligrams per liter.
The alkalinity concentration is 5.33 milligrams per liter and the daily alkalinity load is 497.45 pounds (225.64 kg). [5] Downstream of the tributary Pigeon Run, the discharge of Sullivan Branch is 14,693,000 gallons per day. The concentrations of aluminum, acidity, and alkalinity are 0.37, 7.57, and 5.57 milligrams per liter, respectively.

The watershed of the stream has an area of 2.33 square miles (6.0 km 2). The amounts of aluminum and iron in the stream are too small to be detectable. However, there are detectable amounts of manganese, acidity, and alkalinity in the stream. A portion of the stream's watershed is part of a greenway. A coal bed also is found near it.
