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

Is muddy water an example of water pollution?

Muddy water, more correctly called turbid water, contains particulate. These materials can add taste, odour, or toxic materials. They can also protect microorganisms from disinfectants. Most drinking water standards in use today have a limit on turbidity to address these concerns. Water with a turbidity level higher than the permitted level is regarded as polluted an unsuitable for consumption.


What does it mean when a scientist says a lake has high turbidity?

Turbidity is the cloudiness that is sometimes seen in water. It is caused by very small particles of clay, silt or organic material in the water. To say water is highly turbid means it is very cloudy. Turbidity is measured either in the lab by measuring how much light is decreased as it passes through a water sample or in the field by dropping a Secchi disk into the water and measuring how far down it can be seen.

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
