• Abstract:
  In anticipation of regulation involving numeric turbidity limit at highway construction sites, research was ; done into the most appropriate, affordable methods for surface water monitoring. Measuring sediment ; concentration in streams may be conducted a number of ways. As part of a project funded by the Iowa ; Department of Transportation, several testing methods were explored to determine the most affordable, ; appropriate methods for data collection both in the field and in the lab. The primary purpose of the research ; was to determine the exchangeability of the acrylic transparency tube for water clarity analysis as compared ; to the turbidimeter.
