Why is turbidity caused by suspended particulates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Turbidity is caused by substances that have not dissolved in water, such as clay and other soil particles, algae, plankton, and microorganisms. These particles will float suspended in the water, but after several hours they fall to the bottom. Some particles may continue to float in the water, while others have settled. This mixture of water and floating particles is called a suspension :D
