Turbidity - How Do We Test For It?

I’m Katie. I’m a part of Ocean Guardians. I’m going to tell you about the turbidity tube. First thing you need to know is the four parts of the turbidity tube. The parts are a clear tube, a tube cap, a viewing disc, and a measuring device. To use the tube, fill it with water from the creek until you can no longer see the viewing disc at the bottom of the tube. Then look at the side of the tube and use the measuring device to measure the turbidity. If the water is murkier the higher the turbidity is. This is how you measure the turbidity using the turbidity tube.
