Very clear water is dead-er than turbid water. Very clear water means nothing is living in it. | ||

That depends on a lot of things. There are lots of clear mountain streams with all kinds of things living in them, and not all brown streams are brown for the same reason. | ||

I've seen crystal clear lakes in the Alps teaming with life - aquatic and amphibious. But I don't think that's what my late grandfather meant. I think he was talking about less turbid water than it is today. I don't think I could see my hand if I were to ever plunge it in the Seine, not that I'm foolish enough to try. | ||
