I would rule that poluted water would be opaque, if it's full of
particulate matter in a suspension. Clear water that's poisoned
would be transparent (which might be a clue for a mystery adventure
:).

A liquid should be transperant or opaque depending on how much
particulate matter is in suspension, and/or how much "life" is in
it.
