Water turbidity can be caused by a number of sources, including suspended sediments, algae, plankton, organic matter, clay, silt, and bacteria. Other sources of water turbidity include industrial and agricultural runoff, wastewater discharge, and natural events such as rainstorms and floods.

What does it mean when water has low turbidity?

turbulent flow- is when a fluid say in a stream becomes non-streamline, water currents stop being parallel and begin to move in random directions this makes it so sediments are eroded faster and stay suspended longer a turbidity current- is a kind of density current (it is denser than the surrounding water due to the suspended sediments) the moves down slope along the bottom of a body of water (ocean or lake) generally generated by short term catastrophic events (land slides, earthquakes, volcanoes,) a turbidite- is a sedimentary structure made by a turbidity current: there are two kinds high-density currents (lots of sediments greater than about 25% grains) which form think turbidite successions of sand and gravel (these are poorly graded and generally poorly sorted); and low-density flows tend to present the Bouma sequence in defined beds and laminations didn't sign in for the first time...

Mixture of loose sand rock and water moving at a rapid pace 7 letters?

There are many types of rock flows that could answer this question, but the main two are debris flows and turbidity currents. A debris flow is a mass of loose rock and water which flows at equal velocity throughout its depth, called laminar flow. A turbidity current is a mass of loose rock and water which flows at varying velocities throughout its depth, called turbulent flow.
