Module 3 Water Quality Index

Stream Name: ELK CREEK | Survey Date: July 26th, 2016
Chemical Test Result Q-value Weighting Index Value
Temperature Change: Temperature Not enough data 88.00 X 0.10 = 8.8
Oxygen Saturation: 104.00 97.00 x 0.17 = 16.49
pH (units): 7.10 90.00 x 0.11 = 9.9
Turbidity (cm): 0.00 90.00 x 0.08 = 7.2
Total = Water Quality Index (Compare this value to the Water Quality Chart below)
