Turbidity
Reduced water clarity resulting from the presence of suspended material in the water. Turbidity is an indication of poor water quality.

turbidity
(1) a condition in water or wastewater caused by the presence of suspended matter, resulting in the scattering and absorption of light rays. (2) a measure of fine suspended matter in liquids.
turbidity (ter-BID-it-tee). The cloudy appearance of water caused by the presence of suspended and colloidal matter. In the waterworks field, a turbidity measurement is used to indicate the clarity of water.
Turbidity Measurement
Place each standard on a spot on the standard chart.
Turbidity: A measure of material, usually fine sediments, suspended in water; determined by passing light through a water sample.
Water at a desirable temperature that is free from objectionable tastes, odors, colors, and turbidity. Pleasing to the senses.
parshall flume. A device used to measure the flow in an open channel.
density current a current moving along the bottom slope or cutting through other water masses, its greater density owed to salinity, turbidity, or temperature ...
maximum contaminant level (MCL) The maximum permissible level of a contaminant in water which is delivered to the free flowing outlet of the ultimate user of a public water system, except in the case of turbidity where the maximum permissible ...
Nephelometric: Method of of measuring turbidity in a water sample by passing light through the sample and measuring the amount of the light that is deflected.
significant and relatively rapid shifts in water characteristics such as turbidity, temperature, conductivity, or pH which closely correlate to climatological or surface water conditions.
Palatable Water: Water, at a desirable temperature, that is free from objectionable tastes, odors, colors, and turbidity.
Pandemic: A widespread epidemic throughout an area, nation or the world.
A crack or break in a filter bed that allows the passage of flock or particulate matter through a filter; will cause an increase in filter effluent turbidity.
Breathing Zone
Area of air in which an organism inhales.
