Abstract The 2000 European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) states that “Member States shall ensure the necessary protection for bodies of water identified with aim avoiding deterioration in their quality order to reduce level purification treatment required production drinking water.” However, it does not specify how evaluate or quantify this treatment. We propose a novel index (WQI) prep...

In this study water quality was indicated in terms of Water Quality Index that determined through summarizing multiple parameters test results. This index offers a useful representation the overall for public or any intended use as well indicating pollution, management and decision making. The application Index(WQI) with sixteen physicochemical performed to evaluate Tigris River drinking usage....

An Internet of Things (IoT) platform with capabilities of sensing, data processing, and wireless communication has been deployed to support remote aquatic environmental monitoring. In this paper, the design and development of an IoT platform with multiple Mobile Sensor Nodes (MSN) for the spatiotemporal quality evaluation of surface water is presented. A survey planner is proposed to distribute...

The weighted arithmetic water quality index method was used to assess the of anthropogenically-laden Anwai-river within Asaba-capital territory Delta State, Nigeria, in Stations 1(Otulu), 2(Isele- asagba) and 3(Anwai-Asaba) using pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), (DO), turbidity, phosphates, nitrates, hardness (TH) coliforms, determ...

The present study aims to have a comparative study of the results, from biological monitoring as well as conventional method, based on physico-chemical variables. Water quality index (WQI) and planktonic diatom metrics have been used to determine water quality and ecological conditions of the Dong Nai River (DNR) and Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) to find out the main environmental var...

The Sinos River basin is located Northeast of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (29º 20' to 30º 10' S and 50º 15' to 51º20'W), Southern Brazil, covering two geomorphologic provinces: the Southern plateau and central depression. It is part of the Guaíba basin and has an area of approximately 800 km², encompassing 32 municipalities. The objective of this study was to monitor water quality in the Sin...
