Answer:

It is a process call self-purification

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason muddy water becomes so clear and looks almost drinkable at the end of a stream is because of a process that is called self-purification. This is a natural process of purifying, as the ability of a body of water to rid itself of pollutants.
