I've no idea if this is useful, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity says Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality. Maybe someone can riff on that, or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality Tim.
