This letter describes a radiometric technique to evaluate the turbidity (suspended solids concentration, SSC) of terrestrial waters (e.g. irrigation canals, creeks, ponds, streams and small rivers) using a hand‐held spectropolarimeter. A field experiment was conducted using a container of water with different turbidity levels. The intensity and degree of polarization of sunlight reflected from the water were measured in visible, near and short‐wave infrared bands. The intensity of the reflected light and its non‐polarized component were divided by the incident sunlight intensity to derive the radiant coefficient (Q, %), and the non‐polarized radiant coefficient (Qnp, %), respectively. The Q and Qnp in several wavelength bands were regressed against measured values of SSC. The multiple regression model using multi‐band Qnp is superior to a similar model using multi‐band Q because the Qnp model does not need viewing angles as explanatory variables, whereas the model using Q requires these angles. A result from preliminary testing in real streams is also presented.
