Turbidity is measured in NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units. The instrument used for measuring it is called a turbidimeter, which measures the intensity of light scattered at 90 degrees as a beam of light passes through a water sample.
LWC has a turbidimeter for our “Raw Water” that measures NTU 24/7
