Discuss the nature of materials causing turbidity

d.) Well (Groundwater)

Groundwater turbidity is primarily inorganic and brought on by natural geological

processes. Turbidity tends to be higher in wells. Microorganisms and organic materials are
frequently found. As water percolates through rock and soil and enters your groundwater
source, these particles are acquired. In turbid water, microorganisms bind to the suspended
particles, making it difficult to thoroughly disinfect the water and raising the possibility of
digestive problems. Sediments like silt and clay, fine organic and inorganic materials, soluble
colored organic compounds, algae, and other microscopic species can all be considered part of
the category of "suspended particles.”
