It has to do with vegetaton and pollution levels. Green has the most vegetation. The ocean looks blue, but it is green. Blue is unhealthy water. Clear has little to no vegetation. Brown has a lot of pollution.

There is no such thing as diff rent colored waters, that would be pretty cool. It all has to do with the light and it's surroundings. That's why sometimes you see that the ocean has patches of blues and greens, it's not the actual color of water is whats beneath and how the sun is reflecting on it. When water is brown, it usually means it's dirty or has sediment it it. Hope this helps.

Depends on whats in the water.
Algea causes green water.
Dirt causes brown water.
Blue water is because of the reflection of the sky.
Clear water is pure.

Blue: The water is so deep
Brown: There is lots of sand in the water.
Green: Has seaweed in the water or something
Clear: Good water that you can drink.

Blue colour of the water (in the sea) is due to scattering of blue light.
Green colour may be due to the algae present on the surface.
Brown colour is when water is muddy...dirt is dissolved
Water is naturally clear...transparency is its property

pure water is colorless, clear and taseteless.
If there is any color that is the effect of light and chemical in it.

it all has to do with what is in the water and how light is refracted and reflected off of the surface.
