| Abstract/Contents: | Describes a turbidity sensor used for "suspended particles that diminish water's clarity." States that "the optical sensor measures water clarity by using a light beam that scatters when it strikes suspended particles." Briefly discusses a study by agronomist Seth Danby to measure runoff rate. Concludes that the study "evaluated turbidity measurements as a means of monitoring soil loss and explored procedures for improving the reliability of predictions based on soil and flow characteristics." |
