What does turbidity do?

Answer 1

i have tested the to doing charts and graphs and when stream flow is fast the turbidity raises and and when the stream flow decreases so does the turbidity

Answer 2

I'm unsure if it directly affects the performance of organisms besides the obvious one of reduced vision in higher marine organisms. Often though, turbidity is correlated to particulate contamination and reduced O2 saturation which will affect both microorganisms and higher organisms. O2 availability is essential to all strict or obligate aerobes and reduced levels will significantly affect growth, performance and reproductive capacity. Contaminants might be as "innocent" as causing reduced substrate (food) availability (with the exception of marine animals that feed on phytoplankton, which is often a cause of localised turbidity). Or they might be as toxic as heavy metals. These can be taken up directly by organisms while feeding and filtering or by transfer in the food chain. Either way, certain heavy metals, hydrocarbons etc are cytotoxic and lead to cell death.

Answer 3

No. Stream flow affects turbidity though. It's one of the primary factors affecting stream flow in fact! Fast running water can carry more particles and larger-sized sediment. Heavy rains can pick up sand, silt, clay, and organic particles from the land and carry it to surface water. A change in flow rate also can affect turbidity; if the speed or direction of the water current increases, particulate matter from bottom sediments may be resuspended.

Answer 4

Make sure the aquarium has adequate filtration and water flow. Ensure that the water is clean (ie, do water changes) to maintain low nutrient levels. Keep the aquarium out of direct sunlight so as to prevent algae blooms. Maintain the biological filter properly so that you don't get ammonia/nitrite spikes and their associated bacterial blooms (which will make the water cloudy). You can also use a variety of products designed to make the water clear. You can find them online at www.bigalsonline.com

Answer 5

well you can distill your water... this can help you get very pure and clear water.

Answer 6

It is advisable to grow plants. They are very effective and also act as food for fish. Aquarium pumps can also be installed.

Answer 7

u go to the pet cleaner and u need limestone

Answer 8

method are commonly used for removing turbidity from water

Answer 9

Just like other currents they help shape the Earth.

Answer 10

It increses water temperature and impairs photosynthesis.
