How does turbidity affect water quality

I’ve been collecting data from a river near my site, and the turbidity levels have been fluctuating significantly… I noticed that after heavy rain, the clarity drops dramatically, and I’m curious how that plays into the overall quality of the water. Does anyone have insights on the relationship between turbidity and other water quality parameters?
