Module 3 Water Quality Index

Stream Name: DAKOTA CREEK | Survey Date: September 4th, 2024
Chemical Test Result Q-value Weighting Index Value
Temperature Change: Temperature 92.00 X 0.10 = 9.2
Oxygen Saturation: 60.30 60.00 x 0.17 = 10.2
pH (units): 6.00 60.00 x 0.11 = 6.6
Turbidity - JTU: 1.00 99.00 x 0.08 = 7.92
Total = Water Quality Index (Compare this value to the Water Quality Chart below)
