What measures the acidity of water in a river or lake?

There are multiple ways to measure the acidity of water in a river or lake. One way is to use litmus paper. You buy it in a cylindrical tube. You did one end of the litmus paper into the solution you're testing. The litmus paper will change color, and then you match the color of the litmus paper with the color on the pH scale on the tube. Be careful, though, if the solution you're testing is a strong acid or base, the litmus paper can spontaneously catch fire when it dries! Another way to test the acidity of river or lake water is to use a pH electrode. These can be picked up at hardware stores, but usually cost about 100 bucks.
