The high turbidity levels interfered with the natural breeding cycle for some of the river species.

High turbidity levels also inhibit drinking water purification systems.

Slow sand filters require relatively low turbidity levels to operate efficiently.

Increased turbidity levels caused by erosion has transformed the river into a generally brownish or tannish color.

In drinking water, the higher the turbidity level, the higher the risk that people may develop gastrointestinal diseases.

High turbidity levels can also affect the ability of fish gills to absorb dissolved oxygen.

High turbidity levels pose a threat to seagrass beds in the area.

Further habitat impacts include increases in local turbidity levels from nesting behaviours.

This should be taken into account during calibration and in the detection of very low turbidity levels.

The lake is often discoloured and has seasonal changes in turbidity levels.
