Solution:

The standard unit of turbidity of water is that which is produced by 1 mg of finely divided silica dissolved in one litre of distilled water.
It is known as the Jackson Turbidity Unit (JTU).
Silicon dioxide or silica is commonly found in natural water sources, and its concentration can affect the water’s turbidity.
According to the water quality analysis, the turbidity formed by 1 mg silicon dioxide in 1L water is one standard turbidity unit, referred to as 1 degree.
Generally, the higher the turbidity, the cloudier the solution.
