I can only point you to the water finish tutorial on my site, it is quite
general and also contains some hints for murky water, so you might want to
have a look. Most important for murky water are diffuse finish and also
fading.  You also can try to add media.  

It might also be helpful to look through the entries of the recent 'Sea'
IRTC round.
