Soil erosion, often triggered by human activities such as intensive agriculture, mining, construction and deforestation, results in the mobilization of sediments which, consequently, increase water turbidity and introduce suspended particles into water bodies [1]. These particles, transported by water, can negatively affect water quality, compromising aquatic life, water security and human health [2,3]. Turbidity levels (a visual indicator of sediment concentration in water) and total suspended solids (TSS) (a gravimetric measure of sediment concentration in water) are therefore essential to assess temporal and spatial variability in water quality, being important indicators of erosion in a watershed [4].
