Module 3 Water Quality Index

Stream Name: MIAMI CREEK | Survey Date: January 14th, 2011
Chemical Test Result Q-value Weighting Index Value
Temperature Change: Temperature Not enough data 91.00 X 0.10 = 9.1
Oxygen Saturation: 70.00 80.00 x 0.17 = 13.6
pH (units): 6.20 70.00 x 0.11 = 7.7
Turbidity - NTU: 0.00 100.00 x 0.08 = 8
Total = Water Quality Index (Compare this value to the Water Quality Chart below)
