What does high turbidity do to ocean water quality?

High turbidity in water means that there is suspended particles in the water, the higher the.turbidity, the more suspended particles and the lower the visibility (how far you can see through the water). High turbidity creates problems for plants that grow underwater, for.example seagrasses. These plants require sunlight to photosynthesise, high turbidity means that the ultraviolet rays from the suns light are unable or less able to reach the plant which means the plants growth will be slowed down or halted. If these plants die they impact heavily on the whole ecosystem because the plants in an ecosystem are a provider and without providers the consumers will all run out of food and either die or move on to a new area


What is a good turbidity level?

A turbidity reading of 0-10 JTU or NTU is considered normal. A Secchi depth less of less than 1 meter indicates a high concentration of suspended solids.Background Information Turbidity refers to how clear or how cloudy the water is. Clear water has a low turbidity level and cloudy or muddy water has a high turbidity level. High levels of turbidity can be caused by suspended particles in the water such as soil, sediments, sewage, and plankton. Soil can get in the water by erosion or runoff from nearby lands. Sediments can be stirred up by too much activity in the water, either by fish or humans. Sewage is a result of waste discharge and high levels of plankton may be due to excessive nutrients in the water.If the turbidity of the water is high, there will be many suspended particles in it. These solid particles will block sunlight and prevent aquatic plants from getting the sunlight they need for photosynthesis. The plants will produce less oxygen thereby decreasing the DO levels. The plants will die more easily and be decomposed by bacteria in the water, which will reduce the DO levels even further.Suspended particles in the water also absorb additional heat from sunlight which will result in warmer water. Warm water is not able to hold as much oxygen as cold water so DO levels will decrease, especially near the surface.Suspended particles are also destructive to many aquatic organisms. They can clog the gills of fish and interfere with their ability to find food. They can also bury bottom dwelling creatures and eggs. Suspended particles can transport pollutants through the water.

What is turbidly?

turbidity -dfn- refers to a measure of the amount of suspended solids in water.Particles that may make the water cloudy include soil, wastes from animals and plants, human waste, and waste from industry. Water that is very turbid may block sunlight and prevent photosynthesis in aquatic plants. These plants will die as a result.
