Review of Long Term
Turbidity Trends with Possible Reasons around the World by Ilknur Tuncer in Research in Medical &
Engineering Sciences
In
this review, it was tried to summarize the long term turbidity trends in
various environments around the world. It was found that there was a decreasing
trend in water clarity for Baltic Sea, Dutch Wadden Sea, Black Sea, Adriatic
Sea, Japanese coasts due to eutrophication, rapid industrialization,
anthropogenic input, etc. throughout 1900s and when those effects were
diminished as maintained in Norwegian and North Atlantic coasts by the
introduction of waste treatment plants and the improvement of sewage systems,
an increasing trend was obtained. Moreover, clear oceanic water intrusion into
near shore regions also resulted in an increase in water clarity as seen in the
coasts of Southern California. On the other hand, since coasts of Wales, UK
consisted of inorganic sediments, rather than anthropogenic effects, wind was
tested as the reason of turbidity by comparing with clear Spanish coasts and it
was concluded that long term turbidity could be driven by long term local wind
however wind could not cause turbidity without suspended particles in water.
