Module 3 Water Quality Index

Stream Name: MOSSOM CREEK | Survey Date: October 3rd, 2021
Chemical Test Result Q-value Weighting Index Value
Temperature Change: Temperature 92.00 X 0.10 = 9.2
Oxygen Saturation: 105.00 98.00 x 0.17 = 16.66
pH (units): 7.61 88.00 x 0.11 = 9.68
Turbidity - JTU: 2.67 98.00 x 0.08 = 7.84
Total = Water Quality Index (Compare this value to the Water Quality Chart below)
