The first thing I would do is get the water tested for nitrogen, suspended sediment, phosphorous levels (Ortho-P and Total P) along with alkalinity and hardness. Then and only then formulate an action plan on addressing the issues that you see from the water test data.

Without the data, it's like a doctor prescribing medicine without seeing the patient.

You might get results, but the results that you get might not be the results you were looking for.

Is the turbidity due to a phytoplankton bloom, ionic unbalance keeping clay suspended in the water, mechanical stirring of the sediment, runoff from high water events or something else?
