If someone were to make observations of the turbidity for each river without using a Secchi Disk, they may notice the following:
- Mirror River: The water in Mirror River appears clear and transparent, with no visible suspended particles or cloudiness. The water likely has a low turbidity level, falling within the 0-10 JTU range on the turbidity chart.
- Green River: The water in Green River appears cloudy or murky, with visible particles floating in the water. The water likely has a high turbidity level, falling within the 90-100 JTU range on the turbidity chart.
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 JTU.
