pH test strips and color disk tests are widely available. More expensive, higher-tech options include electrode-based pH meters. pH is a measure of hydrogen ion activity, which means that it tells us how acidic or basic the water is These include temperature, acidity (pH), dissolved solids (specific conductance), particulate matter (turbidity), dissolved oxygen, hardness and suspended sediment. Each reveals something different about the health of a water body.

I believe it is the third one, Acidic carbon dioxide dissolves in water, lowering the water’s pH.
Carbon dioxide is known to make water more acidic because once it dissolves, it forms carbonic acid. Making water more acidic means the pH is being lowered (not raised).
That is my educated guess.
