Without using a Secchi Disk, observers would likely see the following characteristics for Mirror and Green Rivers:
1. Mirror River:
- Clear water, possibly slightly murky with a slight greenish or blue tint
- Able to see objects underwater clearly up to a certain depth
- Some particulate matter or sediment may be visible but not obstructing visibility significantly
- Overall, water appears relatively clean and transparent
2. Green River:
- Murky or cloudy water with a greenish tint
- Limited visibility of objects underwater due to higher levels of suspended particles
- Sediment or debris may be more noticeable and may cloud the water
- Water appears less clean and may have a higher level of turbidity compared to Mirror River
In summary, without using a Secchi Disk, observers would likely see clearer and cleaner water in Mirror River compared to the murkier and more turbid water in Green River.
10. Below were the test results for Mirror and Green Rivers. If someone were to make observations of the turbidity for each river, without using a Secchi Disk, describe what they would observe/see when looking at the rivers. The turbidity chart (right) shows what would been seen on a Secchi Disk at the same depth for 0-100 JU.
