Why does the bay water look brown?


Why does the bay water look brown? The brown in the Bay Waters is largely a plume of sediment, the raw material necessary to rebuild wetlands and maintain their health.


Why is the water so brown?

Brown water can be caused by the corrosion of water pipes as materials flake away and find their way into water supplies, making the water an orange-brown color (from iron pipes) or even black (from lead pipes). Certain elements from sulfur dioxide can cause water to turn brown when combined with hot water.
