EVALUATION OF WATER QUALITY

Using Water Quality Index (WQI).

WQI h d h bi d li WQI - a method that combined numerous water quality parameters into one concise and objective value representing the state of water quality trends in a river.

The WQI can be defined as a number on a scale from 0 to 100 that is used to show the water quality used to show the water quality.

31

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTMinistry of Natural Resources & Environment

Water Pollution Index - computed based on 6 main parameters ;-

WATER QUALITY INDEX (WQI)p p ;

(i) Total Suspended Solids – as a measure of suspended particulate in rivers;particulate in rivers;

(ii) Biochemical Oxygen Demand – as a measure of i ll i l i f b d d h organic pollution resulting from agro-based and other

industries;

(iii) Ammoniacal Nitrogen – as a measure of organic pollution from sewage and animal waste; sewage (human and livestock)

(iv) Chemical Oxygen Demand – as a measure (iv) Chemical Oxygen Demand as a measure of chemical pollution;

(v) Dissolved Oxygen construction / mining DO (v) Dissolved Oxygen - construction / mining; DO level should not be below 1ppm.

(vi) pH – measures the amount of acid in water. pH level of 5.5 and lower are particularly at risk

CLASS USES

Class I Conservation of natural environment Water Supply 1 practically no Class I Conservation of natural environment Water Supply 1 – practically no treatment necessaryFishery – very sensitive aquatic species

Class IIA Water Supply II conventional treatment requiredClass IIA Water Supply II – conventional treatment requiredFishery II – sensitive aquatic species
