Stream Name: GIBSON CREEK | Survey Date: August 18th, 2024
Chemical Test Result Q-value Weighting Index Value
Temperature Change: Temperature 0 91.00 X 0.10 = 9.1
Oxygen Saturation: 86.00 93.00 x 0.17 = 15.81
pH (units): 6.15 62.00 x 0.11 = 6.82
Turbidity - JTU: 0.00 100.00 x 0.08 = 8
Total = Water Quality Index (Compare this value to the Water Quality Chart below)
