The data provided by eriss were continuous discharge (m 3) and turbidity (NTU) and FSS (<63 µm fraction of sediment samples collected in the auto-samplers; mg). Data were from August 2004 to August 2015 measured at a frequency of 6 min for Gulungul Creek and 10 min for Magela Creek at GCDS, GCUS, MCDS, and MCUS.

At 100 feet downstream, the turbidity values were reported at 19 NTU which, with background levels reported at 2.2 - 2.3 NTU, would exceed the AWQS of 5 NTU above background. But at 200 feet below the dredge, the turbidity values were 3.7 NTU which is only 1.4 -1.5 NTUs above background which is well within the AWQS and the permit limits.

Turbidity: The amount of light transmission due to absorption and scattering as affected by suspended sediments [nephelometric turbidity units (NTU)]. Total suspended solids (TSS, also termed total filterable solids): Suspended organic and inorganic solids that are not in solution and which can be removed by filtration (mg/L).

It measures turbidity in nephelometric turbidity units or NTUs. Meters can measure turbidity over a wide range from 0 to 1000 NTUs. A clear mountain stream might have a turbidity of around 1 NTU, whereas a large river like the Mississippi might have a dry-weather turbidity of around 10 NTUs.

indicating transparency similar to milk, for tap water, an NTU rating of less than 1 is generally considered desirable (WestLab, 2018). 1.4.4 pH level of the Water Power of hydrogen (pH) is an important property of seawater because it affects a wide range of chemical and biogeochemical processes in the ocean, such as chemical reactions ...

Turbidity is described as the opaqueness of a fluid due to the presence of suspended solids and is measured in terms of nephelometric turbidity units (NTU). The turbidity of the feed and filtrate is monitored and a noncompromised membrane should be able to reduce the turbidity by at least 90%. This is cheaper than particle counting and ...

The waters of the gold mining zone were acidic to slightly basic (5.1-8.1), weakly conductive (28.2-40 µm cm −1), turbid (29-721 NTU) and polluted by suspended solids (210-3410 mg L −1).

To assess the water quality in the locality of Bétaré-Oya affected by an intensive artisanal and semi mechanized mining activities, 71 samples were collected from sixteen points during the 2015-2016 hydrological year. These points include: three in Lom river which is the main stream of the study area, five in Mari river which is one of the left bank tributaries of the Lom, in Bétaré …

The turbidity of the water samples analysed from the Jimi River and its tributaries were found to be above the WHO limit of 5 NTU. Turbidity in water relates to the reduction of transparency due to the presence of particulate matter such as clay or silt, finely divided organic matter, plankton or other microscopic organisms.

Turbidity ranged from 0.7 NTU (FT site) to 843 NTU (UA site). Turbidity for GM (276 NTU) and UA sites (843 NTU) were above 100 NTU, the threshold established by Ecuadorian guidelines. High turbidity in GM can be due to the influx of sediment particles due to the constant erosion of riverbanks, quite common in mining areas (Batsaikhan et al. 2017).

• When background turbidity is more than 50 NTU: Turbidity below the mixing zone shall not exceed background turbidity by more than 10% and shall not exceed a maximum increase of 25 NTU. The TMDL developed for this stream reach allows a daily mass sediment loading of 314 tons per day. This mass loading is based on 15 dredges

Similarly, high turbidity values were recorded in streams affected by placer gold mining sites in Suriname (424-2874 NTU; Mol and Ouboter, 2004) and …

The Koekemoerspruit is a possible pollution source of the Middle Vaal River, an important drinking water source in South Africa. This case study aimed to establish the water quality of the Koekemoerspruit, to evaluate the impact of the Koekemoerspruit on the Vaal River, and to use this information to identify shortcomings in the monitoring program.

Thus the additive discharge of numerous "muddy" tributaries with gold mining in their catchments can even affect conditions in large rivers: for example on 5 February 2012 an unusually low Secchi disc transparency of 5–10 cm was measured during low flow conditions in the large Marowijne River in Suriname (catchment 68,700 km 2, discharge ...

Turbidity values of Bonsa river at the downstream (155.75 ± 46.72), midstream (135 ± 5.68 NTU), and upstream (207 ± 8.50 NTU) were found to be and exceeded the required WHO's benchmark of 5.0 NTU for potable water. Turbidity is a measure of the degree to which the water loses its transparency due to the presence of suspended particulates.

In modern water treatment, coagulation and flocculation are still essential components of the overall suite of treatment processes – understandably, because since 1989 the regulatory limit in the US for treated water turbidity has progressively reduced from 1.0 …

operations, the key pollutants of concern associated with this proposed dewatering discharge include turbidity, pH, and iron. These parameters were also identified as key parameters via the public input process. The draft permit included monitoring and limits for pH and turbidity, while iron was a monitoring-only condition.
