Question (Click to Flip)

Does high turbidity mean the water is toxic?

Answer

Not necessarily. A river can have high turbidity simply because of harmless brown mud and sand churning around. However, it is an indicator that harmful bacteria might be hiding on those mud particles, so it is never safe to drink without boiling.
