Yes, adding water to a base will dilute the solution, which can affect the pH. The pH of a basic solution may increase or decrease depending on the concentration of the base and the amount of water added.
To make an acid or a base neutral, you can add a substance called a neutralizer. For acids, you can add a base (like sodium hydroxide), and for bases, you can add an acid (like hydrochloric acid). The neutralizer will react with the acid or base to form water and a salt, resulting in a neutral pH.
When an acid of low pH is combined with a base of high pH in a test tube, a neutralization reaction will occur. The acid will donate a proton (H+) to the base, forming water and a salt. The resulting solution will have a pH closer to neutral.
To neutralize a base with a pH of 9, you would add an acid of equal strength. For example, you could add hydrochloric acid (pH=-1) to the base to neutralize it and bring the pH closer to 7, which is neutral.
To make an acid more basic, you can add a base to it. The base will react with the acid by accepting a proton, effectively increasing the pH of the solution and shifting it towards the basic end of the pH scale. This process is known as neutralization.
Adding water to a base will not change the pH of the solution, but it will dilute the base concentration. If you add water to a basic solution, the pH will remain the same, but the concentration of the base will decrease.
Add an acid or a base to it.
If the pH is higher than she wants it to be, she gotta add acid. If it too low, add base. :p Apex

If it is an acid then add a base until the pH level becomes 7, which is neutral. If it is a base, add acid until the pH is seven.
A base or alkali affects the pH water by increasing it.

No you add acid to lower the pH
To make a 3.5 pH solution, you would need to mix a small amount of the acid into the water while continually testing the pH with a pH meter or strips. Add the acid slowly to avoid overshooting the target pH. It's important to always add acid to water, not water to acid, to prevent splashing and ensure proper mixing.
