(...) quand une eau est turbide, la détermination de sa couleur est faussée. On perçoit alors la couleur apparente. Pour mesurer la couleur réelle ou couleur vraie, il faut éliminer les matières en suspension responsables de la turbidité. On peut filtrer l'échantillon (...) Il vaut mieux centrifuger l'échantillon. 3, record 3, French, - couleur%20apparente

Couleur vraie: Couleur due aux seules substances en solution dans l'eau. (...) Note: La couleur vraie et la couleur apparente sont, en gros, les mêmes dans l'eau claire et les eaux de faible turbidité. 2, record 3, French, - couleur%20apparente
