Best Answer

Turbidity is particulate matter in a liquid that occludes transparency, which can happen anywhere from in your cup of wine, to in your local reservoir. In both cases, it's caused by stirring things up too much. Let your wine sit in one place for as long as possible before decanting, and do it tenderly. Turbidity in the water supply happens during flood, and there is not much to be done about that.

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
