Estimation of suspended sediment concentrations in natural water bodies from Secchi disk measurements.

The Secchi disk is one of the simplest and least expensive instruments for measuring the rate of attenuation of light in natural water bodies. Because this rate of attenuation is often closely related to the concentration of suspended sediment in the water, disk measurements may, in some situations,...
