I've no idea if this is useful, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity says

    Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large
    numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the
    naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a
    key test of water quality.

Maybe someone can riff on that, or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_quality
