Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Muddy water pond was clear, now muddy.....

"Turn over" is a term used when layered water mixes. For example, warm water is less dense than cold water. Warm water rises to the top. When the air cools the warm upper layer to the same temperature as water below, water mixes. Spring turn over typically occurs when heavier layers of mixed water below rises as top water falls.
As water temperature changes, its density changes. Water is heaviest at 39 degrees F. Suspended soils often settle out when water is cold, but can temporarily re-suspend at certain water densities.
Heavy rain and high winds can mix soils into the water. That's most common this time of year. If your water stays muddy into summer, you might want to do something about it. I am sure your bass and bluegill are not the problem.
