In drinking water, the more turbid it appears, the higher the chance that  those using it could end up with  gastrointestinal diseases.  The water may be having contaminants such as viruses and pathogenic bacteria which are found attached to suspended solids. These solids may interfere with disinfection of the water.

Erosion and effluent from highly urbanized  areas contribute to the turbidity of water in those areas.  In open bodies of water, organisms such as phytoplankton can contribute to turbidity in the water.

A rock can be highly permeable but also non-porous. <br> True <br> False
vekshin1
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The above statement is <u>false</u>

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Rocks have different porosity and permeability characteristics, which means that water does not move around the same way in all rocks below ground.
  • Permeability greater than 250 mD are considered very good, while permeability less than 1 mD are considered poor.
  • Low porosity normally results in low permeability, but high porosity does not necessarily imply high permeability. It is possible to have a highly porous rock with little or no interconnections between pores.
