Re: The blueness of water



hence the red tide?

Just to throw a wrench into this- a biologist friend who long ago did
water sampling around the Savana River Nuclear plant claimed that most
of the color associated with water in lakes and in the ocean (blackish,
bluish, slate, greenish etc.) had to do with the particular species of
organic life inhabiting the water (plankton etc.). This in turn was
related to dissolved minerals and nutrients but was also related to
temperature, local climate and habitat.
