Detailed explanation-1: -What is water transparency? Transparency of water relates to the depth that light will penetrate water. The transmission of light into a body of water is extremely important since the sun is the primary source of energy for all biological phenomena.
Detailed explanation-2: -We know that water does not have any specific colour, i.e. it is colorless. We know that water is not opaque. We can see through a given sample of water. Thus it is transparent, not opaque.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pure water is practically colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water, when it is pure water, absorbs no visible light. So all white light (light from the sun), will pass right through it, and will look transparent to us. Glass, when it is pure, is the same way. All white light will pass right through it.
