PRESENTATION OUTLINE
TURBIDITY MEASURES THE CLARITY OF WATER.
TURBID WATER PREVENTS THE PENETRATION OF SUNLIGHT.
SUSPENDED MATERIALS INCLUDE: SOIL PARTICLES AND OTHER SUBSTANCES.
HOW DOES TURBIDITY AFFECT LIFE?
TURBID HABITATS REDUCE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF ORGANISM EXISTENCE.
HOW IS TURBIDITY MEASURED?
IT'S MEASURED IN NTU'S, OR NEPHOLOMETRIC TURBIDITY UNITS.
THE SCALE USED TO MEASURE TURBIDITY IS A NEPHELOMETER.
CALIBRATED NEPHELOMETER'S MEASURE PARTICLES SUSPENDED IN LIQUIDS.
IN NTU'S, 0=CLEAR, AND HIGHER NUMBERS = GREATER TURBIDITY.
