This semester I am a member of the Turbidimeter Team. Our goal is to design a low budget (under $20), accurate turbidimeter. These turbidimeters will be provided to candidate communities to determine the source water turbidity range and hence the type of water treatment required.

My teammates and I have created a prototype. The prototype consists of an LED light covered with a secchi disk design which is lowered into a tube of turbid water. Currently my teammates and I are finding the relationship between turbidity and the distance in which the secchi disk design is indistinguishable.
