BACKGROUND Developing a water quality index which is used to convert the water quality dataset into a single number is the most important task of most water quality monitoring programmes. As the water quality index setup is based on different local obstacles, it is not feasible to introduce a definite water quality index to reveal the water quality level. FINDINGS In this study, an innovative...

in recent years, the water quality of karun river, iran, has been affected by different pollutant loads such as agricultural drainages, municipal and industrial wastewaters.water quality index (wqi) and gis as an efficient tool can be used to provide necessary support for decisions of the management actions in this river and also capability of time series models can be beneficial for forecastin...

Australian ports serve diverse and extensive activities, such as shipping, tourism and fisheries, which may all impact the quality of port water. In this work water quality monitoring at different ports using a range of water quality evaluation indices was applied to assess the port water quality. Seawater samples at 30 stations in the year 2016-2017 from six ports in NSW, Australia, namely Por...

there are several factors influencing the water quality based on its usage. the quality of drinking water is of the vital concern for human health and life. an essential attempt has to be done to develop a water quality index (wqi) corresponding with different conditions and characteristics of the relevant river or water body such as geographical, hydrological, discharge rate and pollution sou...

Fifty sampling stations have been identified and water samples were collected from June to May 2008, to know the groundwater quality of Greater Visakhapatnam city using Water Quality Index. The samples were analyzed for the physico-chemical parameters like Temperature, pH, Conductivity, Total dissolved solids, Dissolved Oxygen, Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Alkalinity, Chloride and Nitrate. The...
