FreshWater Watch Results - Turbidity

Turbidity is a measure of the “cloudiness” of the water caused by the presence of particles like micro-organisms and suspended sediment. High turbidity can be an indication of high sediment load or high algal concentrations in the water body. Decreased light availability can influence aquatic plant growth and high particle concentrations will modify fish communities. This map service will update automatically when new records are added through the FreshWater Watch platform. More information regarding the FreshWater Watch project can be found here: https://freshwaterwatch.thewaterhub.org/ Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) identifiers have been added to allow users to filter to their catchment partnership boundaries.
