“…Turbidity can be caused by clay, silt, nonliving organic particulates, plankton, microbes, or suspended organic or inorganic matter. Turbidity caused by suspended inorganic matter is particularly common in groundwater, and precipitated iron oxides/hydroxides are one source (as was visibly observed at well 1) ( 43 , 79 , 80 ). Turbidity is known to influence absorbance throughout the UV spectrum ( 81 , 82 ), and high positive correlation coefficients have previously been reported between turbidity and UV 254 absorbance ( 83 ).…”

Standard physicochemical water quality analyses and microbial indicator analyses leave much of the (largely uncultured) complexity of groundwater microbial communities unexplored. This study combined these standard methods with additional analyses of stable water isotopes, bacterial community data, and environmental data about the surrounding areas to investigate the associations between physicochemical and microbial properties of 28 shallow groundwater wells in Finland.

Looking at the physical, microbial, and chemical makeup of water samples gives a good indication of the drinking quality, which is important as it’s a vital human need. Testing water from Billy Barquedier National Park and the Valley community in the Stann Creek District, Belize, CA. is important to tell whether contamination is taking place from the water source or in the pipe systems. Testing involved taking samples as well as testing in the field with the Pro DSS water quality meter. Lab testing used a colorimeter and autoclave to test the microbial and chemical makeup. It’s important to look to at the connection between the chemical and physical components compared to the microbial components to see connections between harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and fecal coliforms.

Correlation Between Turbidity and Iron Content of the Filter Effluent of Well Origin

Abstract: The relationship between iron content and turbidity in filter effluent and their effect on filter life are examined here. Also reported is the best method of obtaining continuous control of iron content.
