Swedish term

grumlande

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
From a text about dredging and other activity at a port:

"Mätning av grumling och partikelspridning [...] ska ske vid grumlande arbeten om det förekommer indikation på sedimentspridning av någon betydelse utanför hamnområdet."

"grumlande arbete" seems to mean "work that causes turbidity/muddying (of the water)". Does anyone happen to know a simpler/terser way to render the word "grumlande" in English here?

Thanks
Proposed translations (English)
5 +2 turbidity

Deane Goltermann Sep 28, 2017:
A stylistic note All 'arbete' is not 'work' and in dredging contexts, I'd say this sentence does well with 'dredging activities.' Then your sentence has 'sedimentspridning' where you likely want to use the Eng word 'sediment.' The technical word in this context is, indeed, 'turbidity,' so a good approach is to use "... for activities causing turbidity where indication of sediment ..."
I'll go with George on this one.

To the Asker. No, I mean turbidity which is a particular condition, ie, as explained by Collins. There is even a meter available with which to measure it.
Note from asker:
To be exact, I think you mean that "turbidity-causing" is the translation of "grumlande" here (rather than just "turbidity")?
