How can I adjust water pH?
user
If you mean, how can you make water more alkaline, it would be helpful to understand how to define “alkaline”, and what the pH scale is used to measure.  I can give some pointers on this, if you’d like.

Yes please, share the pointers with me.

A pH of 7 is neutral, and as the pH gets higher than 7, water is more alkaline.  In biology, alkaline is often associated with having a “basic” or “positive” charge on the side, which helps to build complex molecular structures that do things like bind proteins together or “fold” them into their native shapes.

How do I change the pH in water?
user
If you add an acid, like vinegar, then the pH will go down, and become more acidic.  You can change water with the pH scale by using a strong acid, like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.  If you add something alkaline, like potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, then the pH will go up, and become more alkaline.

There are chemical solutions and some liquid acids that you can buy in a grocery store that will make your water more alkaline.  This could help your plants and soil do better, but you should still ask a farmer or gardener about the best ways to do this, since a well-tended garden has a variety of other things that make it healthy.
