Surface water is heavily exposed to contamination as this is the ubiquitous source for most
of the water needs. This situation is exaggerated by the excessive population, heavy …

The use of water quality indices (WQIs) as a tool to evaluate the status of water quality in
rivers has been introduced since the 1960s. The WQI transforms selected water quality …

The water quality index is one of the prominent general indicators to assess and classify
surface water quality, which plays a critical role in river water resources practices. This …

Abstract The Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) underwent staged impoundment during 2003−
2010. Periodic water impoundment included drainage (March to early June), low water level …

The concept of indexing water with a numerical value to express its quality, based on
physical, chemical and biological measurements, was developed in 1965 by US based …

Protecting drinking source water quality is a critical step in ensuring a safe supply of drinking
water. Increasingly, drinking source water protection programs rely on the active …

Water quality indices (WQIs) are well-established tools for water quality management and
effective community communication. However, distinct WQIs construction processes give …

This study aimed to check the effectiveness of water quality indices (WQIs) in the specific
assessment of trout culture impacts on a stream water quality by selecting the parameters in …

The river catchment management is a complex problem, which requires analysis of massive
amounts of mandatory monitoring data on analytical, spatial, and temporal level. The …

The drinking water quality index (DWQI) transforms multiple water quality parameters into a
dimensionless number, thus, presenting comprehensive status of drinking water in an …
