One of the favoured units is the nephelometric turbidity unit. Please see the link for slightly more information.
Turbidity is used as an indirect measure of microbial growth in a culture. In the context of measuring Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), turbidity helps indicate the extent to which a substance inhibits microbial growth. Higher turbidity suggests more growth, while lower turbidity indicates inhibition, helping determine the MIC.
Turbidity can be measured using a spectrophotometer by shining a light through a sample of water and measuring how much light is scattered or absorbed by particles in the water. The amount of scattered or absorbed light can be used to determine the turbidity of the water.
Turbidity in water samples is measured using a device called a turbidimeter, which shines light through the water and measures how much is scattered by particles in the water. The amount of scattered light is then used to determine the turbidity level of the water.
Fertilizer can increase turbidity in water bodies when it washes off from fields into rivers or lakes. The nutrients in the fertilizer stimulate excessive algae growth, leading to algal blooms. When these algae die and decompose, they can increase turbidity by releasing organic matter and sediment into the water.
Brown turbidity in the titration of KMnO4 with oxalic acid may be due to the formation of manganese dioxide (MnO2). This reaction occurs in acidic conditions and indicates that the end point of the titration has been reached. MnO2 is insoluble and can appear as a brown precipitate, causing turbidity in the solution.

turbidity is pollution, thus runoffs and fertilizer and anything that makes up pollution is turbidity.
To make a 1000 NTU (nephelometric turbidity unit) solution, mix one gram of formazin powder in one liter of distilled water. Allow the solution to stand for at least 24 hours before use to stabilize. This solution can be used to calibrate turbidity meters and assess the turbidity of water samples.
Turbidity in sand can be tested by taking a sample of the sand and mixing it with water in a clear container. After stirring the mixture, observe how quickly the water clears up — the longer it takes for the water to clarify, the higher the turbidity of the sand. Additionally, turbidity can also be measured using a turbidity meter, which provides a numerical value of turbidity in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU).
The turbidity NTU standards should be less than 5
A dried salt has not turbidity.
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
The pH and turbidity increases.

Cloud cover is usually given as a percentage, there is no unit of measure.
Yes, salinity can affect turbidity. Higher salinity levels can lead to greater stability in the water column, which may reduce turbidity. Conversely, sudden changes in salinity levels can also lead to increased turbidity as particles in the water are disturbed.
