By adding a large amount of quick lime, if available.
Additional:The city of Butte, Montana has nearly at the center of town, a huge strip mine with a lake at the bottom. As a result of mining operations, the lake is highly acidic. So much so, it is dead, and wildlife, bird, that have landed on it die.
One of the solutions they began working on several years ago was to use the bacteria present in manure to help neutralize the acid, and they planned to begin dumping waste from cattle farms into the water. In theory this should work over time, although I have no idea how much time would be necessary. I've not heard if the project continued.
