How to Measure Turbidity Using a Turbidity Tube
This resource provides simple, step-by-step instructions for measuring turbidity using a turbidity tube, a low-cost field tool for estimating how cloudy water is. Measuring turbidity helps determine whether water may require pre-treatment, such as sedimentation or filtration, before treatment methods like chlorination. It is useful for WASH practitioners, field technicians, and community workers monitoring water quality in field settings.
