| Summary: |
| A water quality index (WQI) is a way to represent complex water quality data
and communicate it to the general public. This paper represents an overview of the CCME
WQI method. The considered method incorporates three main elements, the number of
variables not meeting water quality objectives (scope), the number of times these
objectives are not met (frequency), and the amount by which the objectives are not met
(amplitude). As a result, a number between 0, being the worst water quality, and 100 being
the best water quality, is attained that is used to describe the surface water’s state. After
an in depth analysis, the method is applied for the determination of the CCME WQI of
Lake Ludas for the year 2012. |
