any greater than 7

the higher it is, the more basic

it's a logarithmic scale(like the Richter scale for earthquakes)

A range of values that are used to express the activity or alkalinity of system?

I think you mean the 'acidity', not the activity, of a system; in which case the answer is pH. pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity (how basic something is) of a system. pH values range from 1 to 14, with 1 being the most acidic and 14 the most basic. It works on a log scale; i.e., a pH of 2 is ten times more basic than a pH of 1.

what is the pH measurement in water?

pH (lower case "p") is the negative logrithm (to the power 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution. pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, lower values acidic, and higher values basic (or alkaline).
