Research has been done to show how light sensors can be used to measure water clarity and the sources of high turbidity. We would like to see if we can make this sensor in a DIY setup as part of our Marine Water Quality Sensors. It would allow continuous measurement of water clarity for use in coastal resource management monitoring.

Steps

* Research wavelengths, attenuation and available sensors * Write arduino software to measure the wavelengths at different depths * Design a housing for the sensors and connectors
