The unit used to describe turbidity. Nephelometric refers to the
way the instrument, a nephelometer, measures how much light is
scattered by suspended particles in the water. The greater the
scattering, the higher the turbidity. Therefore, low NTU values
indicate high water clarity, while high NTU values indicate low
water clarity.
