Module 3 Water Quality Index

Stream Name: MOSSOM CREEK | Survey Date: March 28th, 2021
Chemical Test Result Q-value Weighting Index Value
Temperature Change: Temperature 92.00 X 0.10 = 9.2
Oxygen Saturation: 99.30 99.00 x 0.17 = 16.83
pH (units): 7.90 88.00 x 0.11 = 9.68
Turbidity - JTU: 1.90 98.00 x 0.08 = 7.84
Total = Water Quality Index (Compare this value to the Water Quality Chart below)
