Pure water is neutral, but as water is very rarely pure, it can be acidic or basic depending on the impurities in it

Pure water, distilled water is supposed to be neutral at pH 7.0. However, due to pollution such as acid rain, it is usually slightly acidic

Water is neutral..U get water when u mix an acid with a base and this process of mixing acids and bases is "NEUTRALISATION" which means it gives out water.
