Water Turbidity #1

Well, my group wanted to do our project on what would happen if there was no water, BUT, since my group stalled on turning in our slip, we didnt get our first two choices. Instead, we got "water turbidity". Now my initial reaction was something like "IN WHAT THE HECK IS WATER TURBIDITY?!?!". SOOO it seemed pretty reasonable for me to check it out and post about what it is. Well, in case you didnt know, water turbidity is made up of two words. WATER and TURBIDITY. Now, I have a pretty good idea of what water is (and I hope you do two, you drink about eight glasses of it a day). So let's talk about turbidity. It is defined as "not clear or transparent because of stirred-up sediment or the like; clouded; opaque; obscured: the turbid waters near the waterfall." (dictionary.com). Basically, that means that turbidity is how dirty or unclear water is. The more turbidity the water has, the cloudier it is.
