PPT-Turbidity and Water

Turbidity is a measure of water clarity how much the material suspended in water decreases the passage of light through the water It is an optical characteristic of water and is an expression of the amount of light that is scattered by material in the water when a light is shined through the water sample .

These curtains are lightweight, durable, and can be easily set up around construction sites to protect the marine ecosystem.
Turbidity curtains are manufactured from top-grade self-buoyant, polypropylene, and non-woven geotextile.
