Define turbidity
measures the amount of suspended solids
Turbidity refers to the degree of cloudiness or haziness in a liquid caused by the presence of suspended particles such as clay, silt, organic matter, or microorganisms that scatter or absorb light passing through it. Turbidity is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTUs) and is an indicator of the water quality, clarity, and purity. High levels of turbidity in drinking water can affect color, taste, odor, and can pose a risk to human health as it can harbor harmful bacteria and viruses. In environmental monitoring, turbidity is an essential parameter as it can indicate sediment transport, erosion, pollution, and other phenomena.
